Polytechnique graduate Julie Guicheteau among Equiterre's 12 "favourite women environmentalists"

March 13, 2013 - Source : NEWS

To mark International Women's Day, Equiterre decided to honour the exceptional contributions of 12 women environmentalists. In recent decades, all of them have, in their own way, made a fundamental difference for the environmental cause.

Committed to sustainable mobility and co-author of the book Projets efficaces pour une mobilité durable - Facteurs de succès (Effective Projects for Sustainable Mobility – Success Factors) Julie Guicheteau has also worked on environmental management in the university and industrial sectors. She is continuing her work for the environment as a climate-change engineer for the City of Montréal.

In 2009, she received the very first Laure Waridel Bursary, presented by Equiterre and the Caisse d'économie solidaire Desjardins, for her master's project Facteurs de succès de projet de mobilité durable, with research directed by Louise Millette, Director of Polytechnique's Department of  Civil, Geological and Mining  Engineering.
