Portage was proud to inaugurate the new Marcelle and Jean Coutu pavilion on May 6, at the Lac Écho residential centre in Prévost, which is home to adolescents and young adults struggling with addiction.
The former building, which dated to 1939, could no longer accommodate young people under suitable conditions. To address this issue and bring this major project to life, the Portage Foundation launched a $5.2 million capital campaign. To date, $4.5 million has been raised, but further efforts are needed to reach our goal.
Mrs. Marie-Josée Coutu, President of the Marcelle and Jean Coutu Foundation and a proud Portage partner for over 30 years, applauded the generosity of all those who contributed financially to help meet the growing needs of these vulnerable youth. Our support is more essential than ever to help them regain control of their lives.
Mrs. Colette Taylor, Vice-President of Philanthropic Development, expressed the deep gratitude of the extended Portage family towards all partners—and especially the Marcelle and Jean Coutu Foundation—for their exceptional contribution to this promising, forward-looking project.
