Pascale Dallaire, a member of the Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk First Nation, has always been committed to supporting First Nations and contributing to their economic development. Her desire to create an environmentally responsible company arose during her first pregnancy. She wanted to offer unique wood products, made in Quebec and that would showcase the region's craftsmanship and promote local resources. And so, in 2023, Produits Seconde Nature was born. 

Wood is a raw material that fascinates Pascale. She likes to work with knots and wood slits, which are sometimes considered imperfections. To her, they are integral parts of the tree. All products are handmade in Notre-Dame-des-Pins. Created with meticulous attention to detail, each wooden piece is unique with distinctive characteristics that make it one-of-a-kind. 

As well as being aesthetically pleasing, the company's products are sustainable and environmentally responsible. Pascale minimizes the waste of raw materials and always has one goal in mind: to enhance the beauty of an environment, whether indoor or outdoor, by recognizing the value of the qualities and defects of each element. 

 

Produits Seconde Nature and Les Produits du Québec 

The entrepreneur loves nature and recognizes the importance of buying local on the environment. "We source our equipment and raw materials locally from our region, proudly supporting our local businesses and contributing to Quebec's economic growth. I urge everyone to prioritize local purchases to safeguard our environment, bolster our entrepreneurs and their employment opportunities, and foster our economy's growth."
