Sustainable Development

In 2008, Festival Western St-Tite launched a sustainable development initiative that includes the organization’s environmental and social spheres.

Here are some exemple:

Environmental changes:

- Use of recyclable paper for a large quantity of our communicational publications
- Managing waste matter
- Recyclable beer glasses
- Installation of a BIONEST wastewater treatment system (inspired by nature)

Our community involvement

Directly or indirectly through the event, more than thirty associations throughout the region accumulate more than 500 000$ through the operation of food or beverage stands, transforming parking lots into campsites, and through carrying out the job of cleaning or supplying technical support to those sites.

Our community and social sector

The event organizers frequently work in co-operation with different organizations and business partners to consolidate social alliances. The Festival helps the community by providing sources of financing and visibility.

Every year, the Festival supports the Centraide Mauricie through the popular Centraide Western day and also provides support for the Canadian Foundation of Breast Cancer through its Tough Enough to Wear Pink rodeo.
