This is why we integrate eco-responsible practices into all of our activities.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, we adopted an eco-responsibility policy developed in collaboration with the Quebec Council for Eco-Responsible Events (CQEER). This policy guides our actions until 2028 and allows us to structure our efforts to reduce our environmental footprint while maximizing our positive impact on the community.<\/p>\n<p>For this 40th edition, we are continuing our commitments with the conviction that it is possible to combine celebration, inclusion and sustainable development. Our approach has also been recognized on several occasions, notably by the Vivats Prizes (2022 and 2024), obtaining level 2 of the BNQ standard in responsible event management in 2023, as well as by the Distinction Prize from Tourisme Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n<div id=\"linit-2197786269\" class=\"linit-apres-contenu linit-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8992136571741975\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px;\" \ndata-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8992136571741975\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6185130430\"><\/ins> \n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Festival, numerous shows and activities will enliven the highly anticipated Village des Nuits d\u2019Afrique, from July 14 to 19, at the Parterre du Quartier des spectacles and on the Esplanade Tranquille.
