The wait is finally over!
After years of dreaming, questioning, planning, calculating, and yes, fundraising, Sun Youth celebrated this afternoon the official groundbreaking of its future home, which will bear the names of Mirella and Lino Saputo.
In the presence of our Member of Parliament for Outremont, Ms. Rachel Bendayan, our campaign co-chairs Ms. Lucy Riddell and Mr. Claude Mongeau, the President of our Board of Directors, Renzo Fraraccio, and outgoing President of the Foundation’s Board of Directors, Dimitri Manolopoulos, reminded us of the raison d’être of this transformative project, for Sun Youth, its clientele and the community.
We’ve come a long way since August 2022, when the Honorable Rachel Bendayan announced Federal funding of over $10 million through Infrastructure Canada’s Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program. Ms. Bendayan was happy to share this moment with us.
