Bienvenue aux stagiaires!!! Welcome students!!!

La formation terminée, les stagiaires relèvent les défis du travail avec énergie et enthousiasme. Et ils sont plus nombreux cette saison. Sans eux, notre travail ne pourrait se faire

In addition to social work and law students from McGill University and l'Université de Montréal, as well as a diaconal intern from the Center for Christian Studies in Winnipeg, this year we welcome students from the University of Manitoba and Sherbrooke.

We will no doubt be breaking our 2015 record of 18 student interns! Their contribution ensures MCM remains a dynamic and innovative presence in the downtown core and beyond. Essential work gets done and the people we serve are touched by their compassion and devotion.

Long life to MCM students - past - present and future!!

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.

The Syrian Refugee Crisis: What constitutes a wise and smart response?

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!
