Over the past 35 years,
the CQDE has established itself as the reference for environmental law in Quebec.
With expertise recognized by a wide range of players (citizens’ and environmental groups, elected officials, journalists, legal and academic circles, etc.), it has never ceased to inform, empower and bring together allies committed to environmental protection, while taking part in strategic mobilizations across Quebec.
Thanks to you, we’ve won some major victories, but the work continues. Together, let’s continue our mission for a fairer, greener future.
« 35 years ago, the CQDE was a unique organization in Quebec, and it remains so today. Its impact on the environment and the public over the decades has been invaluable. »
Michel Bélanger,
Lawyer Emeritus, co-founder of the CQDE
