Our mandate consists of preserving and improving the quality of the environment.

Our long-term vision focuses on three main points :

  • a healthy environment ;
  • security against environmental risks ;
  • and a greener society.

The Quebec region Environmental Protection Branch regroups three divisions whose objective is to assure that human activity takes place without compromising the integrity and the well-being of human beings and ecosystems. The EPB sees to it that natural ressources are used sensibly with the intent of achieving a sustainable development.

The EPB is confronted with many diverse and complex environmental issues :

  • the fight against toxic substances in air and water ;
  • the mitigation of the impacts of climatic changes ;
  • the clean-up of the St Lawrence River ;
  • environmental emergency response ;
  • wildlife surveillance activities.

Dealing with these issues implies adopting a variety of approaches and tools, namely, law and regulation enforcement, pollution prevention, environmental technology development, and environmental management system development.
