Englobe Wins Prestigious 2025 Brownie Awards for Environmental Excellence
Englobe is proud to announce its recognition at the 2025 Brownie Awards, receiving honours in both the Rehabilitate and Renew categories for our work on two transformative projects: the former Pétromont plant site in Varennes, Québec, and Richmond Yards in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Presented annually by the Canadian Brownfields Network, the Brownie Awards celebrate innovation and leadership in the remediation and redevelopment of brownfield sites across Canada.
Rehabilitate: Pétromont’s Former Plant Site
Englobe led one of Québec’s largest remediation project at the former Pétromont petrochemical plant site. Using eco-friendly technologies, including onsite treatment and native microorganisms— we allowed nature to heal itself and the site to retrieve its original beauty, setting a new standard for sustainable remediation.

Renew: Richmond Yards
In partnership with Westwood Group, Englobe helped transform five acres of impacted industrial land in Halifax’s north end into a vibrant, mixed-use neighbourhood. Over 300,000 tonnes of material were remediated to make way for residential, commercial, healthcare, and recreational spaces—complete with green areas, rooftop gardens, and strong transit connections.
