OUR FOUNDER
Jean-Claude Villeneuve,
Eng. Founder/CEO
BoreA Canada and BoreA SENS
Founder and CEO of BoreA Canada and BoreA SENS, Jean-Claude Villeneuve, an engineer by training, has always had a mission: to find solutions that improve human well-being. Passionate, he had imagined even before founding his own company, that his studies in electrical engineering and robotics could one day allow him to realize this deep desire. He spent several years working for other companies, as well as traveling in Asia and the United States. In 2012 he returned to his native region of Chibougamau-Chapais, located in the territory of Eeyou Istchee, Bay James in the north of the province of Quebec. Jean-Claude created his first company, BoreA Canada, the distillery in 2014; then in 2021, he started the online store, BoreA SENS.
« A single 10ml bottle of Black Spruce Essential Oil, can help calm muscle pain in several people at the same time.” Or he says, channelling his engineering spirit, “Every 1.42 seconds, someone, somewhere, uses 2 drops of Black Spruce Essential Oil to soothe their muscle pain or boost their energy.»

Our Mission
BoreA SENS offers pure, natural and authentic organic products from Quebec. We use a multi-circular extraction process to create a variety of products, such as essential oils and hydrosols from the boreal forest. The genesis of our company is based on this circular economy. We value the unused by products of other companies and encourage the involvement of local communities. Quality, durability and authenticity matter to us.
YES, RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IS IMPORTANT TO US!
And that’s why we recycle forest residue. We will look for those beautiful branches left behind in the forest by the foresters who do not need them to make softwood lumber.
We like to recuperate material!

At BoreA SENS, we have a great team of 15 people to which, in the summer, we add all our passionate pickers of 100% pure, real, nature. We work very hard to offer you with the greatest respect, the riches of the boreal forest.
« We don’t hesitate to work in temperatures of minus 40° Celsius, to collect plants in the forest far from any human habitation. These plants come mainly from public lands within vast territories with long-term government guarantees. Government-managed crops follow a very specific framework to ensure that these resources remain renewable. »
