​Whether you became a friend of West Island Community Shares years ago or recently learned about our mission, join us in celebrating the West Island community at our upcoming Red & White fundraising evening! A benefit evening of gourmet food, fine wines and fabulous company.

Low-income West Island families are struggling this year to afford warm winter clothing for their children. 
​
​That is why West Island Community Shares, in collaboration with BMO BANK OF MONTREAL WEST ISLAND BRANCHES, are raising funds & in-kind donations to provide brand-new snowsuits, hats, neck warmers and warm mittens for vulnerable West Island children. 
​

Mark your calendars for this second edition of the Dorval Holiday Market!  A delightful experience, inspired by traditional European markets, that will bring the magic of the Holidays to young and old alike.

Designed around brightly coloured huts housing more than 15 local merchants and artisans, the outdoor venue is decked out with majestic trees and sumptuous decorations, and illuminated by thousands of festive lights. Carollers, elves, entertainers, and even Santa himself will be in attendance to entertain you! (See schedule)

​Shop for original gifts made by local artists and artisans while enjoying the enchanting cachet of this ephemeral setting in the heart of the Dorval Village. Visit the Market in the daytime or the evening, warm up around one of the outdoor fireplaces while sipping a hot beverage, and soak up the atmosphere!

The Dorval Holiday Market presented by Caisse Desjardins de l'Ouest-de-l'Île is organized in collaboration with the City of Dorval and Commerce Dorval, as well as by West Island Community Shares, to which a portion of the profits will be donated.

​Opening hours:
Fridays December 2nd, 9th, 16th: 4pm - 9pm
Saturdays December 3rd, 10th, 17th: 12pm - 9pm
Sundays December 4th, 11th, 18th: 12pm-5pm

Le 9 septembre dernier, les directeurs de notre C.A, bénévoles et membres de l’équipe avaient revêtus leurs plus beaux tabliers pour servir nos invités lors de notre déjeuner communautaire annuel présenté par la Caisse Desjardins de l'Ouest-de-l'Île en collaboration avec les marchands IGA EXTRA de D.D.O, Kirkland et Pointe-Claire ainsi que par le MegaCentre des Sources, les Cafés Las Fincas et le restaurant 3 Brasseurs où le déjeuner eut lieu. 

Un immense plaisir de recevoir des donateurs, des représentants de groupes communautaires et politiciens locaux tous rassemblés ensemble pour soutenir la communauté!

Merci à nos généreux partenaires ainsi qu'à tous ceux qui sont venus déjeuner avec nous!
