Improving Ottawa’s environmental impact<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Alliance Fran\u00e7aise, as a global community of local associations, led by people committed to educational, cultural and social issues, has historically responded to the needs and challenges of its environment. Today, the climate emergency and the threats to humanity encourage us to rethink our lifestyles and our ways of acting in a sustainable manner.
\nThe Alliance Fran\u00e7aise de la R\u00e9gion de la Capitale Nationale du Canada (hereafter referred to as AF OTTAWA), at the heart of civil society, is committed to reducing the ecological impact of its operations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This project enables AF Ottawa to <\/span>showcase<\/span> the environmental element in all its activities, which have been promoting bilingualism in Ottawa since 1905. Our project focuses on a diverse range of activities: revitalization of the green space, promotion of sustainable modes of transportation through bilingual workshops in partnership with <\/span>EnviroCentre<\/span>, organization of awareness-raising events on environmental preservation, such as <\/span>movie nights<\/span>, book clubs, clean walks and so on.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our environmental policy<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In May 2021, AF Ottawa adopted an environmental policy in which it committed to reducing the ecological impact of its educational and cultural activities. Since October 2022, a <\/span>person in \u201cservice <\/span>civique<\/span>\u201d<\/span> has been working to raise awareness among the public, <\/span>students<\/span> and the administrative and pedagogical teams. This person is also in charge of making AF Ottawa more environmentally friendly in its purchases and with its partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

A rewarded commitment<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

To celebrate the Foundation’s 140th Anniversary Congress, AF Ottawa <\/span>submitted<\/span> its “Measuring the carbon impact of cultural events” project for the <\/span>Troph\u00e9es<\/span> de <\/span>l’\u00e9coresponsabilit\u00e9<\/span>. Launched in May 2023, the project measured the carbon impact of two cultural events using the <\/span>Arviva<\/span> tool, to target and prioritize areas for action to reduce our impact. AF received a Special Mention from the jury for this project.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
