For Mr.\u00a0Foisy, people helping each other is nothing new: \u00ab\u00a0Give back, and share: that\u2019s how I was brought up.\u00a0\u00bb While still a child, he was impressed by his parents\u2019 community involvement. Even though they weren\u2019t wealthy, they made charitable donations, and his mother, on top of taking care of six children, was involved in non-profit associations. As an adult, Mr.\u00a0Foisy also donated to a variety of causes. As his career progressed, he developed closer ties to several associations, kept up with their activities, and increased his donations.<\/p>\n
His philanthropic approach led him to create a fund at FGM with his spouse, Chantal Bernier, in 2020. The Fonds Fondation Foisy Bernier was created through a PearTree Financial share issue \u2014 FGM is accredited with PearTree. Mr.\u00a0Foisy and Ms.\u00a0Bernier will be able to support several sectors and organizations they have chosen. They are delighted to be able to help the causes that are close to their heart.<\/p>\n
