Congratulations to the Opercule project team on being honoured as the 2025 winner by the Association des firmes de génie-conseil du Québec!
At last evening’s gala event, AFG recognized La ferme Opercule with its celebrated 2025 Visionary Award. The award is presented annually to an engineering project that demonstrates particular value in innovation, boldness or proactivity.
“The Quebec Consulting Engineering Awards highlight the engineering expertise behind the industry's best projects. This prestigious competition aims to recognize the added value of consulting engineering in the success of projects of all kinds, in collaboration with clients. It is also an opportunity to highlight the work of multidisciplinary teams and showcase the competence, innovative capacity, and quality of Quebec consulting engineering.” (https://afg.quebec/grands-prix/)
La ferme Opercule is Canada's first urban fish farm using a recirculating aquaculture system. It was designed by HH Angus to achieve ambitious goals in terms of sustainability, innovation, local production, and compliance with environmental standards.
Located in Montreal, Opercule produces eco-friendly Arctic char in an innovative system that uses 100-200 times less water than traditional fish farming. The facility meets rigorous environmental standards while ensuring optimal conditions for fish welfare. By partnering with HH Angus, Opercule successfully implemented cutting-edge engineering solutions while addressing community needs for local and sustainable food production.
This groundbreaking project has created economic opportunities, advanced sustainable aquaculture practices, and serves as a model for environmentally conscious engineering.
Congratulations to the entire project team on this exciting recognition by the Quebec engineering community!
