The Town of Montreal West announced the official launch of the public fundraising campaign for its new Sports and Recreation Center at a community event on November 20, 2022. The event took place on the site of the future center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Beny Masella was joined on stage by councillors Colleen Feeney, Maria Torres and Lauren Small-Pennefather<\/strong>, Desiree McGraw<\/strong>, Member of Parliament for Notre-Dame-de-Gr\u00e2ce, Andrew Michelin<\/strong>, important donor and member of the Fundraising Committee, and Valentina Todoran<\/strong>, interim Director General to kick off the public fundraising campaign in front of an enthusiastic group of Montreal West citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Town and the Fundraising Committee aim to raise $2.5 million to build the new Sports and Recreation Center. Launched in 2021, the silent fundraising campaign has already received important support from a number of partners with a total of $1.5 million pledged and donated to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundraising campaign aims to reduce the tax burden on its citizens, to multiply the sources of financing and to create a sense of belonging among the various partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Town now calls on the community\u2019s generosity to help us achieve our fundraising goal. With your support, Montreal West\u2019s vision for building a strong and active community will come to fruition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
