The Government of Québec has hosted the Forum Inondations 2017: Ensemble, planifions l’avenir autrement on October 6-7 at the Société des arts technologiques in Montréal.

The Forum has provided an opportunity for a comprehensive discussion about planning differently for the future and tackling the challenge of improving resiliency to flooding in the context of climate change.

Experts from Québec, other parts of Canada and other countries have informed the discussions by presenting winning practices that they have explored and have dialogued with members of the Main Table, chaired by Minister David Heurtel and composed of representatives of the government, municipal and regional decision makers, scientists and members of environmental organizations and indigenous communities.
