Bearer of Hope 2020

Amélie Drainville

Passionate about permaculture and food self-sufficiency, Amélie has initiated a food forest project in her community. She assumed leadership of the committee, from fundraising to the management plan, including collective planting and the development of a program of educational activities. In 2019, she was co-spokesperson for the “La Planète s'invite à l'Université de Sherbrooke” movement, in addition to coordinating mobilization teams for Québec Solidaire's Ultimatum 2020 campaign, which focuses on the climate emergency. She wishes to pursue a graduate’s degree at the Université de Sherbrooke to deepen her knowledge of Quebec's public policies in agriculture.
