Quelle soirée magique pour les enfants du Camp Cosmos dans la loge de Brandon Prust et sa charmante compagne Maripier Morin. Mille mercis à vous deux pour votre gentillesse et votre présence auprès des enfants éblouis. Cette soirée restera gravée dans leurs cœurs. 

Merci aussi à la Fondation pour l’enfance des Canadiens de Montréal qui soutient le camp chaque année. 

Et finalement chapeau à nos 3 chaperons bénévoles Angélique, Edouardo et Victor!

A group of kids from Camp Cosmos had the thrill of their lives when they were invited to view last Monday’s game between the Montreal Canadians and the Vancouver Canucks at the Bell Centre. 

But there’s more! They viewed the game from the box of Brandon Prust and his charming partner, popular Quebec television personality Maripier Morin. Brandon and Maripier hung out with the kids, signing their new Canadians’ caps and viewing the game together.

And what a game – the Canadians’ came back from a disadvantage to win 4-3! And there’s more!! Réjean Houle and Geoff Molson also dropped by the box for a visit!

A heartfelt thanks to Brandon and Maripier as well as to the Canadians Children’s Foundation whose support makes the camp possible every year. 

A final tip of the hockey cap to our volunteer chaperons, Angélique, Edouardo and Victor.

Imagine...

IMAGINE...

...if behind every refugee there was a team of high-powered lawyers fighting for that person's chance to settle in Canada. That's often what I think about when I see the files of our clients at Just Solutions Legal Clinic. Their stories are so compelling and the law should be on their side, but they often simply do not have the resources to make their case. The fact is, when it comes to immigration law, it's not a level playing field.

When we are able to take on a case, our advocacy can have an enormous impact on an entire family's life.

Working at Just Solutions has opened my eyes to these aspects of justice that I hadn't really considered in law school. It's been wonderful to feel that with a law degree I really can make a concrete difference in the lives of others. It's inspiring to be a part of a team that is so committed to this work.

A Successful Ride !! / Une belle réussite !!

A heartfelt thanks to all of our sponsors, riders, joggers and walkers who helped raise 7K + for MCM at the annual Ride for Refuge bike-a-thon. A shout out to young Xavier - star fund raiser of the Township Travellers. Special thanks as well to our supporters at St. James and Cedar Park United.

Par une journée magnifique d'automne, nous avons pédalé, 'joggé' et marché pour soutenir les actions de la McM - surtout auprès des réfugiés et leurs enfants cette année.

Merci à tous et à l'année prochaine!

See you next year!

Ride for Refuge 2015

As you know, Montreal City Mission’s Just Solutions is the only clinic of its kind in Quebec offering free professional legal advice and moral support to vulnerable migrants in their quest to remain in Canada as well as be united with their families.  No government program or foundation supports this type of work. We rely on the support of people like you.

In exactly one month, on October 3rd, we will be participating in the annual
Ride for Refuge bike-a-thon. Please consider either sponsoring our ‘Just Riders’ team and /or joining the ride yourself and recruiting some of your own sponsors. This is a small but important action we can all take to support refugees in our midst.

Comme vous le savez, Solutions Justes, de la Mission communautaire de Montréal, est la seule clinique en son genre au Québec, offrant des services juridiques gratuits et un soutien moral aux migrants vulnérables qui souhaitent vivre au Canada et être réunis avec les membres de leurs familles. Ce type de service n'est offert par aucun programme du gouvernement, ni soutenu par aucune fondation. 

Nous comptons sur le soutien de gens comme vous.

Dans exactement un mois, le 3 octobre, nous participerons pour la troisième année, au Cycle-O-Thon Refuge. S.V.P., pensez à encourager notre équipe Just Riders, ou encore, à vous joindre à nous avec votre vélo tout en recrutant vos propres commanditaires.
Un geste simple mais important que nous pouvons tous faire afin de venir en aide aux réfugiés.
