OPEN LETTER - Fondation Rivières invites the public to consider the impact of certain promises on the environment.
Press release - Fondation Rivières was dismayed to learn, in an article in La Presse on September 24, 2018, that François Legault, leader of the CAQ, is proposing to relax wetland protection rules, which he says "lack common sense" and represent a "problem" for urban development.
52 organizations launch a last-ditch appeal to Philippe Couillard to reverse course on hydrocarbon development.
Press release - Fondation Rivières welcomes the new 2018-2030 Quebec Water Strategy released by the Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Climate Change (MDDELCC). The document has the merit of identifying the many challenges to be met in order to improve the quality and preserve the availability of this precious resource that is water. The presentation of the document is accompanied by an unequivocal invitation to the public to make a substantial contribution.
Press release - The Quebec government has withdrawn from important responsibilities since the adoption, four years ago, of the Règlement sur les ouvrages municipaux d'assainissement des eaux usées. Since then, municipalities are no longer supported by the State, performance results are still not accessible to organizations, and the identification of problems and solutions is not prioritized, particularly at the watershed level.
From April 1, 2017, the government will introduce measures that will have a significant impact on access to information about water discharges
