  • The place to be in community
    “The people who come and dine at Le Café come from all walks of life. They are old, young, some employed, some not. Whole families come in. The bigger the crowd, the happier I am. That means that we are important, that we are making a difference. We can be counted on to be there for community and it’s great to be part of that.”  (more)

    Helping the Vulnerable on the West Island
    Life had been going along pretty much as Adele had always planned. She stayed at home, raising her four kids while her husband went off to work every morning.

  • West Island public space program
    The YM-YWHA West Island Jewish Community Centre (WIJCC) is reaching out in an effort to connect with young families – whether at its Pierrefonds location or out-and-about in the West Island – wherever they can be found. The inspiration for its public space program was to make the connection with the unaffiliated and those who have drifted from their Jewish identity. The idea is to invite them to become reacquainted with their roots in settings that speak more to their daily lives than to institutional Judaism. (more)
  • Camp B’nai Brith Offers Summer Fun for All
    Michael’s family was living comfortably, if at the limits of the joint income his parents earned. Outwardly, they appeared to be doing well, with a nice home in the West Island, a car, and an annual trip south during the winter. (more)
