Clear the Air! On Tour in Quebec

From 2009 to 2011, two “Clear The Air!” teams have traveled across Quebec regions to promote the Program, it’s partners, rewards and its objectives.

Our teams and their booths participated in 36 events each year in 2009 and 2010. The total number of participants in those events is estimated to be 2 million people.

In two years, more than 30 000 persons stopped at our booths and learned about air pollution and climate change related to older cars. And that’s excluding the Montreal’s Auto Shows where we twice had a booth. About 188 500 visitors in 2010 and 207 208 visitors in 2011 saw our kiosk at that show.

Sincere thanks to Honda Canada for loaning us two Honda Insight cars. Because of Honda, we drove greener!

The tour will go on next summer.  Come and see us!
