Discover the Vital Signs report on territorial inequities
Across Greater Montreal, areas where more low-income people live are also the areas where the built environment is less conducive to well-being. This is the reality that is raised by the Foundation of Greater Montréal’s latest Vital Signs of Greater Montreal report, produced by Vivre en Ville in partnership with many local organizations.

Inspiring stories
In 2015, the Chamandy Family Foundation was created in Montréal. It aimed to improve the day-to-day lives of children, and offer them hope for a better future. Many of the projects the Foundation supports assist youth who are experiencing homelessness : “The Chamandy Foundation commits to supporting children in all aspects of their development: education, rights, the fight against poverty, and health and well-being.” Other donors tell us why they have decided to give through the Foundation of Greater Montréal.
