VANCOUVER, British Columbia — EverGen Infrastructure Corp. ('EverGen' or the 'Company') (TSXV: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF), today reported financial results as at and for Q1 2025. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Financial Highlights for Q1 2025:
Article content
Revenues of $1.9 million for Q1 2025 decreased 41% compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by reduced volumes (due to unexpected operating disturbances) resulting in lower tip fee revenue at the Company's organic waste and composting facilities. These declines were partially offset by increased RNG production and associated revenues from FVB and GrowTEC, as well as tip fee increases at the Company's composting facilities.
Net loss of $1.2 million for Q1 2025 improved by 11% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to lower direct operating costs, depreciation and amortization expense, and finance costs, partially offset by lower revenues and a decrease in insurance proceeds.
Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million for Q1 2025 decreased by $0.2 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to reduced revenues and lower insurance proceeds, partially offset by a decrease in direct operating costs and an increase in non-recurring general and administrative expenses.
RNG production reached a new quarterly record in Q1 2025, driven by the continued ramp-up and stabilization of the FVB RNG expansion project. The FVB facility achieved monthly RNG production record exceeding 12,000 gigajoules (GJs) in both March and April 2025, surpassing the previous high of 11,186 GJs in September 2024. A daily production record of 640 GJs was also set in October 2024.

How air quality is measured when wildfire smoke rolls in
Wildfire smoke hangs over the Albert Street bridge in Regina on May 30, 2025. (CTV News Regina Skycam) With smoke from wildfires spreading throughout Saskatchewan, air quality statements and warnings have been and continue to be in effect for many parts of the province. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) measures air quality in several ways when determining if health risks are elevated prompting advisories to be put in effect. That includes when smoke from wildfires moves in. Meteorologist Danielle Desjardins says to simplify the process for the public, the weather office uses a scale called the air quality health index (AQHI) with a one to 10 scale. Anything from a one to a three on the scale means minimal health risks, four through six means moderate, and seven through 10 means high. Anything above 10 is rated as extreme. Desjardins said 10-plus readings have been and are expected to continue throughout the province. Fine particles represent the main health risk with wildfire smoke, ECCC says. Smoke from wildfires is a mix of gases, particles and water vapour that contain ozone, methane, sulfur and nitrogen dioxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, fine particle matter (PM 2.5) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), according to ECCC. 'When air quality gets poor, it's mainly due to something we call PM 2.5, particulate matter 2.5,' Desjardins said. The level of smoke or pollution in the air is then determined by a parts per million measurement. 'So, let's say that the PM 2.5 is 60. That means that out of a million molecules of dry air, 60 of those will be particulate matter 2.5,' Desjardins said. ECCC will issue air quality statements when the AQHI reaches moderate and high levels and warnings when it reaches extreme levels. As of Friday, the province said 16 wildfires are burning around Saskatchewan, seven of those are considered not contained. However, wildfire smoke can travel thousands of kilometres and fires from other provinces and the U.S. regularly bring smoky conditions to Saskatchewan. On Thursday, Premier Scott Moe declared a provincial wildfire state of emergency. A smoke forecast map can be seen here.

This Quebec tenant won three cases at the TAL. Now landlords won't rent to him
A building with "For Rent" and "For Sale" signs is posted in Montreal, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024. (Christinne Muschi / The Canadian Press) When Steve transferred his Sherbrooke, Que., apartment lease and left for an exchange program in Australia last year, he didn't expect to be blacklisted by landlords for having contested rental hikes at the province's housing tribunal. The tenant, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of further housing discrimination, won all three cases that his former landlord had opened against him before the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL). Still, he says, landlords told him they now think of him as a 'problem tenant' for having enforced his rights. He claims that because of this no one will rent to him. 'One of the people that my girlfriend and I had visited online straight up said 'Hey, I don't want this. I don't want you to bring me to the TAL,'' Steve told CTV News. 'Why would I bring you to the TAL? You're not trying to swindle me, right? ... I just had an issue with this one specific landlord that was trying to double my rent every time.' Experts say Steve isn't alone, and the low housing supply in the province is making it easy for landlords to discriminate against tenants they think will be a headache. Steve says when he first moved from Montreal to Sherbrooke for work in 2021, he found an apartment for $1,200 per month, adding he discovered it was overpriced after moving in. Despite initial promises of a renovated apartment, the home lacked basic amenities and had a mould issue. Mushrooms were even growing in the bathroom. When Steve checked Section G of his lease, where landlords are obliged to declare the lowest rent paid for the unit over the 12 months, he saw the previous tenant paid about $600 per month. The landlord had doubled the rent. TAL mushrooms 'Steve' had mushrooms growing in the bathroom of his Sherbrooke apartment. Steve says he tried to negotiate with the landlord to bring the rent down to $900 per month, but was refused. A rent fixing case was then opened at the TAL, but before a judgment was issued Steve's landlord sent him another notice for a rent increase. 'At this point, I'm wondering, are you just trying to weaponize the system against me?' he asked. 'Now, I have two files open, right? What's going on here? This is weird.' A third case was then opened for rent fixation. Eventually, the TAL ruled in Steve's favour, setting his rent at $865 per month, and later at $881 per month, lower than the price he first asked for. In their decisions, reviewed by CTV News, the judges noted that the landlord had failed to provide evidence that would justify the requested increases, plus sections of the lease weren't properly filled out. During his time in Sherbrooke, Steve went back to school and was accepted for an academic year abroad. He transferred his lease and thought it would be easy enough to find a new place upon returning. However, he says finding a new home for July 1 has been anything but simple. As they're currently on the other side of the globe, Steve and his partner can't visit apartments in person. He claims that as soon as landlords look up his records, they see the TAL cases and flag him as a possibly difficult tenant. 'It's really sketchy for them to see my name come up, even though I was right,' he said. After months of searching, Steve says he and his partner started feeling desperate. The only landlord willing to have them as tenants refused to sign a lease with Steve. Instead, she was willing to sign just with his partner – and only if her parents signed on as guarantors. 'My girlfriend's like, 'Well, I'm 32 years old. Why do you need to get my parents to sign like I'm some sort of child?'' Steve said. 'I felt swindled and therefore I used the resources that were at my disposition … And now, because of that, I'm seen as some sort of problem tenant … is it really a fair system if I have everything to lose and the landlords don't?' A tenant blacklist Mario Mercier with the Association des locataires de Sherbrooke says he's heard dozens of stories like Steve's. 'It's basically systematic,' he said of the phenomenon. 'Landlords are using the docket almost like a tenant blacklist. Normally, they shouldn't because [the tenant] was within his rights … but it's absolutely not something insignificant that happens rarely.' He says landlords often use a form to screen applicants, which asks them if they have ever had a case at the TAL. When tenants are honest and say yes, Mercier notes their application is often not considered at all. Mercier says he tries to help tenants find legal recourse, but the burden of proof is so high that it typically goes nowhere. This was the case when CTV News spoke with a second tenant who said that despite her and her partner's high salaries and good credit, one case at the TAL was enough to face multiple rejections from landlords. TAL poll A poll in the 'Mordus d'immobilier' Facebook group shows 100 landlords would not rent to a tenant with a file at the housing tribunal. (Facebook) In an investigation online, CTV News found some landlords encouraged each other to refuse tenants based on their TAL history, no matter the reasoning behind the case. One landlord in the Facebook group 'Mordus d'immobilier' started a poll in 2024, asking others if they would rent to a tenant with a TAL history. The two options were 'YES, I could take them as a tenant,' or 'NO, as soon as a tenant has a case before the TAL I systematically refuse.' Though most of the 400 or so respondents picked the former, 100 landlords voted for the latter. 'You shouldn't rent to tenants with a file. It's the only way we can exert pressure. It's clear to me if you have a file at the TAL, especially if it's to get rent fixed, then it's a no,' one landlord commented on a similar post. A tenant's rights Lawyer Julien Delangie warns that the Civil Code forbids landlords from refusing a lease to a tenant who has formally asserted their rights before the courts. However, proving discrimination is challenging — in fact, it's almost impossible. TAL facebook A landlord comments on a Facebook post saying refusing to rent to tenants who have rent fixation cases before the TAL is the only way to exert pressure. (Facebook) 'It's very often, very hard to prove that this is the exact and only reason for which they were refused, even if it's the case,' he said. 'If the landlord doesn't state the real reason behind the refusal, it's going to be hard to assert the tenant's rights about this.' He adds it's a symptom of the housing crisis. 'When you have so many tenants fighting for a given apartment and sometimes even offering more than the rent that is asked for, that's when it becomes very easy for landlords to discriminate on an unlawful basis,' he said. There are penal provisions that can result in fines ranging from $200 to $1,900 or punitive damages. However, Delangie says the fines are rarely applied. Useless fines? Quebec Housing Minister France-Élaine Duranceau admitted as much during debates around her housing law project, Bill 31, in 2022. Transcripts of those debates are available on the National Assembly's website. At the time, she said, 'In real life, in order for fines to be applied, there has to be a denunciation, there has to be an investigation, there has to be an investigation report, there has to be a provisional decision.' It takes prosecution, an indictment and a trial, she continued, for charges to be laid, and the money 'doesn't go into the pocket of the person who was the victim,' and instead goes to the government. While Liberal MNA Virginie Dufour pressed Duranceau, saying she would like for fines to serve a purpose, the minister insisted that punitive damages are the way to go. A spokesperson for Duranceau's office recently told CTV News the minister was simply stating the 'facts about the process of implementing these provisions.' France-Elaine Duranceau Quebec Minister Responsible for Housing France-Elaine Duranceau responds to the Opposition during question period, Thursday, September 28, 2023 at the legislature in Quebec City. (Jacques Boissinot/The Canadian Press) Bill 31 introduced punitive measures to condemn landlords who fail to comply with Section G of a lease, as well as those who neglect their buildings. 'The TAL has the power to order a party to a lease to pay punitive damages. All you have to do is apply and prove your allegations before the Tribunal,' said spokesperson Justine Vezina. Fines are criminal penalties and fall under the Ministry of Justice's responsibility. 'It is not criminal sanctions that guarantee a person's ability to freely exercise his or her rights, but our legal system,' she said. Delangie argues the minister's answer isn't satisfactory. 'Of course, there can be a civil suit against you, but it's also a penal offence, and you could be liable to a fine, but there's no one that's enforcing that,' he said. Landlord-tenant contract Eric Sansoucy, spokesperson for the Corporation des propriétaires immobiliers du Québec (CORPIQ), says it's crucial for both landlords and tenants to be transparent with each other because 'it's all about building a relationship of trust.' He stresses that CORPIQ does not endorse discriminatory behaviour. However, he says it's normal for a landlord to want to know more about who they are renting to and make sure there are no legitimate concerns about payments or behaviour issues. 'We strongly encourage tenants to be open, if there's a past issue, explain it upfront, rather than just let the landlord discover it, and it helps rebuild trust and establish the basis for a good understanding,' he said. On the other hand, CORPIQ says it encourages landlords to be understanding, as some tenants have legitimate reasons for contacting the TAL. 'We think landlords and tenants should be able to go to the tribunal if they feel that they are under a situation where their rights are not respected,' said Sansoucy. Steve, who admits he has had a hard time finding understanding landlords, says he wants the names of tenants who win their case to be removed from public documents to prevent discrimination. 'Look, if someone skips on their rental obligations or makes a mess or breaks things, 100 per cent name and shame them,' he said. 'But for people who are…in a situation where if they say 'no' to this double rent increase, even though it's an absolutely absurd increase and it'll never fly in court, just the fact that their name now pops up on the website where all the judgments in Quebec are, now suddenly life becomes very hard for them.' Delangie says removing names is easier said than done. There are various databases where landlords can look up potential tenants' past cases. Plus, the experts say that without proper enforcement measures and other ways to find tenants' files, it's unlikely that any discriminatory behaviour will stop.

Is Montreal's summer noise affecting our hearing?
Doctors say that earplugs should be on a keychain as our ears are solicited more than ever in the modern world. (pexels) Starting Thursday, engines will begin roaring at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on Île Notre-Dame for the start of the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix, kicking off Montreal's summer festival season. As F1 fans work to get as close to the track as possible, ears across Montreal will feel the sounds of summer in a noisy city. From the F1 to the Jazzfest, Osheaga, construction and CF Montreal games, experts say we need to take better care of our ears. F1 car Race fans watch as Ferrari mechanics practice in the paddocks at the Canadian Grand Prix Thursday, June 15, 2023 in Montreal. Formula One is back in Canada for a second consecutive year as the Canadian Grand Prix gets underway this week in Montreal. (Christinne Muschi/The Canadian Press) 'Our ears are more and more solicited today than they have ever been,' said Dr. Tamara Mijovic with the MUHC's Otolaryngology department. 'It's not just living in the cities, working online. It's from our phones. There's noise everywhere, in our workplace, and in our hobbies and our activities. So, overall, in the outdoors, I tell all my patients: wear earplugs. They should be on your keychain.' Chance Hutchinson, 41, says he has been playing in punk rock bands since he was 12. The Priors frontman and guitarist for Private Lives and Sonic Avenues, said decades of music and shows have taken a toll on his hearing. 'My hearing is not great,' he said shortly after a show. 'I've been to see an audiologist many times. My left ear is worse than my right, but I'm still working on it. I have issues that are not treated yet or diagnosed.' Hutchinson now wears special earplugs constantly and sees more and more gig-goers doing likewise. 'People talk about it a lot more now,' he said. 'When we were kids, we used to rehearse in a basement, and no one ever told us to wear earplugs. We were just turning up the amps as loud as they could go, you know what I mean, and just kind of beating on the drums. So, yeah, it's always been super loud.' Private Lives performs in Montreal Private Lives performs in Montreal on May 29, 2025. (Daniel J. Rowe/CTV News) Mijovic says that wearing earplugs at any loud event is essential, and your phone's volume should always be set to less than half the maximum. 'Blast injuries,' she explains, caused by sudden loud noises like horns, are not what causes major damage. 'They happen. It can be quite traumatic, but they're rare. They're a small amount compared to the daily noise that we're exposed to,' she said. Hearing specialists say that any sound louder than 85 decibels for longer than eight hours can cause hearing loss. In addition, the louder the noise, the shorter the time span our ears can take. Decibels Example 10 dB Normal breathing 20 dB Mosquito buzzing 60 dB Normal conversation 85 dB Blender, heavy traffic 100 dB Night club, train, snowmobile 120 dB Ambulance siren, live concert 130 dB Stock car race, jet engine 145 dB Fireworks When getting home from an event, it can be easy to detect whether your ears have been damaged. 'One of the signs of damage is to have ringing in your ears after the event. These are called temporary threshold shifts,' said Mijovic. 'That means your ear is telling you that something is a bit different, and usually that recovers within 24-48 hours, but it's cumulative. So, the more you go out clubbing or to events and you have that, the more likely it is that eventually the hearing will not recover, and even that tinnitus can be quite permanent.' A variety of earplugs are available, and Mijovic says she is happy to see more young people wearing them. 'It's all about investing when you're young to avoid wearing hearing aids when you're getting into your 60s, when damage has been done,' she said. JAZZ FESTIVAL Crowds gather for the annual Jazz Festival in Montreal. (Paul Chiasson/The Canadian Press) The World Health Organization (WHO) states that more than a billion young adults are at risk of permanent, avoidable hearing loss due to unsafe listening practices, including the use of earbuds or headphones to drown out noise. Mijovic said that a phone volume at maximum is around 110 decibels, which is dangerous. 'It's important to really look at the volume,' she said. 'I think that noise-cancelling earphones are good in the sense that you will be able to tune out the background noise and therefore keep your volume low. Where I worry about is when, let's say, I'm taking the Metro, I'm next to somebody, and I can hear their own music.' Live music has always been a deep-rooted part of Montreal's culture, and Hutchinson advises those attending the shows to take a small step to ensure they can enjoy it and not hurt themselves. 'If you're going to a show where guitars are plugged into an amplifier, you should be wearing ear protection,' he said.
