Alliance Romaine is a not for profit organization founded in January 2008 to oppose the construction of four dams on the Romaine River. Through our work we foster an appreciation and love of Québec’s beautiful rivers and support energy conservation as a viable alternative to dam development.
Our demands:
1. A halt to the recently-initiated hydroelectric project on the Romaine River
2. A moratorium on hydroelectric dam development, including the Little Mecatina
3. Protected status for the full length of the Romaine River
4. Good-faith land title negotiations with First Nations
5. Adopt a conservation based energy strategy with full public accountability
6. End energy subsidies to big business
7. A system of government grants and incentives to support small-scale renewable energies
. . .
Alliance Romaine is a proud member of GRIP-UQÀM – the public interest research group, a university collective based at the University of Québec in Montreal.
