This fund has been identified as a new priority in our strategic planning session held in December 2019 and will be developed over the next few years.
It’s time to un-pause our efforts for the environment!
We don’t have to look back very far when it seemed like the environmental crisis was on everyone’s mind. Then the pandemic hit, which put the green agenda on pause, understandably so. But we know that the environmental crisis will not wait for a more convenient time, this is why we are launching a new West Island Environmental Fund.

But we know that the environmental crisis will not wait for a more convenient time, this is why we are launching a new West Island Environmental Fund.
The goal of the Fund is to support green initiatives right here in the West Island. Organised activities, grassroot initiatives, school-wide programs, will all be considered for funding. Funding will focus on specific initiatives that are developed and implemented in the West Island, and funding will be allocated on an on-going basis throughout the year.
Note: This fund will not support any political or advocacy activities (e.g. save the forest).

We would like to thank the Trottier Family Foundation, our corporate partner, Targray as well as an anonymous donor, for helping us take a first green step towards a better West Island. |
