Social Change, the Environment and Degrowth Theory
Justine McIntyre’s commitment to the environment led her to become deeply involved in these issues during her time as a city councillor. In particular, she authored a motion to ban the use of neonicotinoids. She has been involved in the conservation of the Anse à l’Orme area in the west of the island, which is now being incorporated into the network of large parks, and the integration of the REM into the urban landscape.

In this context, she completed her integration project focusing on investments in water resource protection in Quebec.
