For his leadership in the prevention of alcohol abuse, notably as director general of Éduc’alcool.

Hubert Sacy is an authority on preventing alcohol abuse. As director general of Éduc’alcool for over 25 years, he has established the organization as a leader in the field in Canada and abroad. Through education and information, he has changed the way Quebeckers think about alcohol consumption and coined the phrase “Moderation is always in good taste,” which has become a veritable proverb. He has also ensured Canada’s influence by sharing his expertise with various international organizations and helping to establish organizations based on the Éduc’alcool model in several other countries.
