Week-ends du monde: An eco-responsible event!
Parc Jean-Drapeau has set an objective of attaining Level 2 of the BNQ 9700-253 standard for event management.
The Parc will be prioritizing local suppliers, promoting the reuse of all residual materials, implementing a residual materials management system and water- and energy-saving measures and reducing the production of waste material by setting a maximum amount of 150 grams per person/per day of materials destined for burial.
Simple things to do help us achieve this objective:
- Bring your reusable bottle
- Respect the on-site sorting of residual materials
- Make public and active transportation a priority
