Restoring the rivi\u00e8re \u00e0 Mars: A Community-Driven Project for the Region<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, through our pro bono<\/em> policy*, Transfert had the privilege of supporting Contact Nature<\/strong><\/a><\/span> in a community-led process to restore the hydromorphology of the rivi\u00e8re \u00e0 Mars, an emblematic ecosystem in the Saguenay region.<\/p>\n

Carried out between November 2024 and May 2025, the project culminated in a participatory workshop held in January 2025, bringing together residents and key stakeholders.<\/p>\n

The workshop had three goals:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To share the results<\/strong> of hydromorphological and social acceptability studies;<\/li>\n
  2. To collect participants\u2019 feedback<\/strong> on the restoration plan;<\/li>\n
  3. To identify ways to improve it<\/strong> so the project truly meets community needs and remains sustainable over time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Transfert played a central role in the project\u2019s success, thanks to our colleague\u00a0Marc-Olivier Fortin’s<\/span><\/strong><\/a> involvement. Ahead of the workshop, our team helped design communication tools, provided strategic advice<\/strong>, and guided the client through event planning. During the workshop, we facilitated<\/strong> the discussions and created a space for listening, reflection, and co-creation.<\/p>\n

    Afterwards, we produced a report summarizing the concerns raised, the strengths and weaknesses of the plan, and key recommendations for the next steps.<\/p>\n

    The Transfert Effect<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Our contribution gave Contact Nature a clear and structured external perspective to guide the next phases of the project. The Transfert effect could be felt at every step: a well-prepared client team, a smooth and engaging workshop, thorough documentation, and above all, a clear strategic vision<\/strong> to ensure the project\u2019s long-term success.<\/p>\n

    This project reflects our commitment to putting our expertise at the service of meaningful causes, guided by social<\/strong> responsibility<\/strong> and the power of dialogue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
