ABOUT

Since 2004, Revitalization Saint-Pierre has undertaken the task of stimulating, coordinating and facilitating the implementation of initiatives, activities and projects likely to have the effect of the integrated urban revitalization of the Saint-Pierre district, in particular by a contribution in human resources, financial or material from grants, bequests and other contributions. The values that guide the organization are the mobilization and participation of citizens; welcoming, listening and respect; diversity and openness to all; long-term vision; good humor and friendliness; the involvement of partners; consultation; quality of life and concern for the environment; and the search for unifying projects.

Revitalization Saint-Pierre facilitates the networking of food organizations that receive different donations. The organization also sends other donations to events, alerting Lachine residents of events that will take place in their neighborhoods. They improve the environment of their area by planting both trees and vegetables, and provide culturally appropriate food for the area.
