around the mill, listening to employees and making sure everyone is ‘singing from the same songbook.’ This high level of coordination is necessary in a mill running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A native of the Gaspésie region, Watts values strong, vibrant regions. It’s a commitment she brings to her tight- knit adoptive community of Lac-Saint-Jean. She believes companies should play a visible role in their communities, whether through civic action, politics or philanthropy. Marie-Noëlle plays an active role on a local economic council, and previously she served in the Dol- beau-Mistassini Chamber of Commerce. While the Saint-Félicien mill is among the region’s larg- est employers, those on the outside rarely get a glimpse of life within its walls. In-person touchpoints like open hous- es and student internship opportunities help the team feel connected to their community while allowing local people (including potential employees) to get a feel for the mill’s culture. “We have a lot of fun here,” says Watts. “But peo- ple don’t usually get to see us. So, we like to open our doors and show what it’s like.” Community involvement also demystifies the forest- ry industry, particularly for girls and women who may not have otherwise considered careers in the traditionally male-dominated sector. Watts sees the forest products in- dustry as ripe with potential, offering a truly diverse variety of exciting career paths. “We offer well-paying jobs and a great quality of life,” explains Watts, who notes that when potential employees see women like her in leadership roles, it sends a strong message. “With representation, people can imagine what’s possible.”
Nothing’s more rewarding than a couple made for each other.
