HURRAH! TIME TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!

On August 18th, more than 700 children received new backpacks filled with school supplies. A special thank you to Ms. Monique Vallée and Mr. Francesco Miele, City of Montreal councillors, for their presence and mostly, their encouraging words to the children. Ms. Vallée and Mr. Miele stressed the importance of academic perseverance and going back to school with dignity. We would also like to mention the very special contribution of a group of volunteers from Telus, particularly for the henna tattoos, and that of our clown Marie-Popette, for the fantastic face painting. This event would not have been possible without the help of our donors, notably the Fondation J.A. DeSève, that we wish to thank.
