The company

A human, clear, and results-driven approach

At Pesca, we believe that the best solutions come from a simple but powerful approach: listen, understand, act.

We always start by listening to you - really. Because each organization is unique, we take the time to understand your issues, objectives and reality on the ground. Then, we analyze, question and deepen to understand in depth what is holding you back, and what can propel you. Finally, we act with rigor and commitment, by offering you concrete solutions, tailor-made and results-oriented.

Our consultants are recognized for their empathy, ability to adapt quickly to the most complex contexts, and dedication to moving things forward. They evolve with fluidity in this strategic space between listening, understanding and action - where ideas come to life and results materialize.

Our values

History

Pesca was born in 1991 from the will and leadership of Marjolaine Castonguay, a biologist who wanted to establish a team specialized in the environment and offer high-quality services in Gaspésie. The mission and values developed at that time still guide the company’s decisions and actions today. The young company first specialized in managing salmon populations in eastern Quebec. Then, the 2000s saw the company emerge as a key player in the development of renewable energies in Quebec. Since 2016, Pesca has extended this expertise to the provinces of Western Canada by establishing a team on site. 

Recipient of more than 20 awards throughout its history, Pesca is distinguished by its willingness to do things differently, to innovate for the benefit of the environment and the community that hosts it. The many awards of excellence in human resources management received demonstrate the company’s commitment to providing a healthy, dynamic and flexible workplace. 

Pesca is a family-based company; the three children of Marjolaine are now contributing to the growth of the business founded by their mother. Pesca continues its mission with a secure succession and maintaining its anchor in the region where it was born. Although it now has a team distributed throughout Quebec and in certain strategic points across the country, Pesca has succeeded in establishing itself as an essential player in the field of environmental consulting services, and this, by radiating from Gaspésie, outside major urban centers, and contributing to developing expertise there. 

" We are proud of our contribution and committed to preparing for the future with energy. " - Marjolaine Castonguay, founder and president
