In Quebec, social acceptability and relations with riverside communities are of paramount importance in the development of marine projects. By taking local concerns into account, these projects aim to win strong support from riverside populations and promote harmony between maritime activities and community interests. A collaborative and transparent approach is essential to ensure harmonious and sustainable cohabitation between the marine industry and local communities.
Set up by the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable to oversee the development of the Sustainable Mobility Policy and obtain a global vision of the various issues, the Advisory Committee’s mandate was to support the Ministry throughout the process. Comprising thirty members from a variety of backgrounds, the Advisory Committee made recommendations on the measures proposed by the Ministry at each stage of the Policy’s development.
This committee was set up by the
Port of Québec
to establish and maintain a formal channel of communication between the port and the community players concerned by its activities. The Committee also aims to improve the way port projects are carried out, in order to increase their level of social acceptability.
