Bird Protection Quebec (Protection des oiseaux du Québec, BPQ) was founded in Montreal in 1917, and is the oldest organization of birders in Quebec.
BPQ exists to conserve wild birds and the environment.
With the support of members, they own and manage nature reserves where wildlife can flourish, support research into the problems facing birds and the environment, help in recovery projects for many threatened species, and perform public outreach.

[2][1] Other regular activities are available to members such as the Christmas bird counts, in which society members take an active part in common with birders all over North and Central America, trips and outings, contests, courses, information and many other things.
