Message from the directors

The grassroot movement that Équiterre has been building for 20 years has become indispensable in 2015. Tens of thousands of citizens took to the streets of Ottawa and Quebec City in record-breaking numbers to march for the climate. A growing number of businesses from all sectors joined in promoting the benefits of a low-carbon economy. Farmers, agronomists, doctors and researchers came together to call for stricter regulations on the use of synthetic pesticides.

The result: Canada resumed its rightful place at the negotiating table, and 195 countries signed a historic climate agreement in Paris. The premiers of Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia, accounting for 90% of the Canadian population, put or pledged to put a price on carbon. This was unthinkable just a year ago. The Quebec and Ontario environment ministers also announced stricter regulations on the use of bee-killing pesticides.

And this is just the beginning!

In 2016, Équiterre will continue to build this movement and transform this incredible people power into concrete results in an effort to protect the environment for future generations.

Isabelle, Sidney and Steven

Over 13,000 baskets from 105 farms delivered via 550 drop-off points supplied nearly 40,000

people, with organic vegetables.

Our family farmer network was even represented at the People’s Expo forum in Milan and the 6th International Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Conference in Peking.

To commemorate the creation of the family farmer network and organic basket program in Quebec 20 years ago, Équiterre started an annual awards program, which includes the Pioneer Award to recognize farmers who helped create the network (awarded to the Cadet-Roussel farm) and the Golden Carrot Award for farmers whose top-quality baskets, summer and winter, and outstanding management and commitment set them apart (awarded to the Vallon des Sources farm).

Some 450 participants attended the first-ever pan-Canadian school food conference organized by Équiterre and its partners.

Over 150 themed meals featuring 32 different fruits and vegetables were put on the menu in four nursing homes as part of a project to increase the amount of local food served to residents and employees.

250 Quebec schools

put local food on the menu for

418,000 children.

Some 1,200 people attended 5 Rendez-vous branchés held in Magog, Lévis, Victoriaville, Mon-treal and St-Jérôme to promote electric vehicles.

With the help of a short video, Web content, media placement and a contest, we informed some 300,000 people about electric transportation.

After years of work on this initiative, Équiterre welcomed Quebec’s tabling of a policy on transportation electrification.

Thousands of young people learned how to break their solo driving habits by using a cocktail of simple solutions that combines active transportation, car sharing and public transit.

Thanks to a TV ad, booths in universities, a short video, an online contest and content on social media—all delivered with a touch of humour—over 100,000 people learned about transportation alternatives.

The Polar Bear on thin Ice exhibition raises awareness about global warming. Starting in late November 2015, it took just 18 days for the polar bear to melt!

During the federal election campaign, Équiterre took action to encourage people to vote for the environment!

Équiterre also upheld the demands of environmentally conscious citizens and its members and supporters in the fight against climate change at the United Nations Climate Conference (COP21) in Paris.

Fight against pesticides

Équiterre has been fighting the use of harmful pesticides for years, and the hard work is starting to pay off—Quebec has announced plans to develop a new pesticide use reduction strategy.

Laure Waridel Bursary

This helped to fund her comparative analysis of four methods of farming wheat in Quebec, which examines the environmental, social and economic impacts.

Chantal Lacasse, a master’s student in environmental management at the Université de Sherbrooke, was awarded the 7th Annual Laure Waridel Bursary worth $10,000.

Some 37,000 people from Quebec and another

90,000 from across Canada signed the petition against

the use of neonicotinoids, also known as bee-killing pesticides.

+ 7,000 people signed our petition to ban the use of atrazine in Quebec. This dangerous pesticide is

harmful to living organisms and the environment.

Équiterre urged 500 guests (from over 200 businesses) to make climate commitments in the run-up to COP21.

Our 4 action groups (Lanaudière, Montreal, Outaouais and Quebec City), comprising nearly 50 volunteers, showed great imagination in promoting Équiterre’s mission and raising public awareness about environmental issues:

•Talk on simple living

•Pipeline project information evenings

• Tour à la Terre bike ride and visit to an organic vegetable farm in Donnacona

•Board game evening to raise funds for Équiterre

•Staffing Équiterre booths and providing logistical sup-port to projects (transportation cocktail, 100% Possible Climate March and Act on Climate March)

Some 48,000 people signed a petition to save Quebec’s Route Verte.Groups of concerned citizens banded together to inform the residents of Ahuntsic-Cartierville (Montreal) and Beauport-Limoilou (near Que-bec City) about the importance of climate issues in the federal election.

Success! Thanks to pressure from environmentalists and engaged citizens, TransCanada’s plans to build an oil port in Cacouna as part of the Energy East project were dropped.

Benefit auction

Équiterre’s 2nd online auction raised $11,354 to help fund various education projects. Over 11,000 visits resulted in more than 200 bids.

Thank you to all the generous partners and bidders!
