“For nearly 35 years, Desjardins Group and the Portage team have worked closely together. Youth is indeed one of our priorities and we believe we can make a difference through education.

This is why the Desjardins contribution has always been dedicated to 3 adolescent programs. When young people come to Portage, they reconnect with the education system, thus encouraging them to regain hope to achieve their goals.”

Guy Cormier, Past President, Desjardins Group

“I have been involved with Portage for nearly 25 years because I strongly believe in its mission. This organization brings newfound hope to those who had lost it. By supporting Portage, we contribute to a better society.”

François Olivier, Governor of Portage

“Addiction and mental health issues have significantly increased in the community. I care about the Portage cause because it provides a solution, which is why I have been involved for nearly 10 years.

Through the years, I have seen the positive impact of its programs with adult and adolescent clients. Portage saves lives.”

André Roy, President from 2011 to 2023, PMT ROY Assurances et services financiers, Vice-Chair of Portage’s Board of Directors and Chair of the Annual Fundraising Campaign for the Québec area
