The Phénix Environmental Award is an annual contest created in 1998 following partnership between organizations from both the private and public sectors. Currently formed of the ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, the ministère de l’Économie, de l’Innovation et des Exportations, Éco Entreprises Québec and the Fondation québécoise en environnement, their mission is to showcase and promote the excellence and know-how of Quebec organizations devoted to the protection of the environment and sustainable development.

AMIK is proud to have received a Phénix award in the “Education and Awareness Project For Non-Profit Organizations” category in 2014 for their Atlantic salmon conservation program, which promoted the use of Traditional Indigenous Knowledge.
