Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t an də la peʁad]) is a municipality located on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, in Les Chenaux RCM, Mauricie region, Quebec, Canada.

In 2018, the project attempted to raise awareness among the local population of the richness of the environment and to encourage actions to protect it, including a conference on birds of prey, guided tour on the ornithology and entomology of the area, guided tour on the facilities favorable to wildlife, and school outings.
