2025-2026 Annual Report<\/h1>\r\n

Together, let’s create the conditions for long-term recovery<\/h3>\r\n

A Word from the President and CEO<\/h2>\r\n

The year 2025-2026 was marked by major achievements that bolstered Portage’s ability to fulfill its mission of helping people with addiction and mental health issues. As the needs of this vulnerable population become increasingly complex and diversified, Portage has chosen to invest in its greatest strengths: the quality of its services, the expertise of its teams and the strength of its organizational foundation.<\/p>\r\n

Establishing a Solid Foundation for the Future <\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Throughout the year, several decisive steps were taken to consolidate our organization and sustain its long-term development. A major milestone was the signing of a five-year agreement with Sant\u00e9 Qu\u00e9bec, which will help provide the stability needed to pursue our mission.<\/p>\r\n

We also conducted an extensive strategic planning exercise, with the help of Arsenal Conseils. Employees, trustees, clients and external partners were invited to join in this collective effort to define Portage’s direction for the future.<\/p>\r\n

In addition, we reinforced our governance mechanisms by developing a risk management matrix and related action plans, and by continuing to work on ensuring our organization’s financial health and improving our management practices. The arrival of new board members has also enriched our governance mechanisms and helped prepare our organization for the future.<\/p>\r\n

Responding to Increasingly Complex Needs <\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The life experiences of the people we help require innovative interventions that are tailored to their needs and based on best practices. To maintain our high standards of service excellence, we continue to invest in skills development for our teams and in the improvement of our clinical practices.<\/p>\r\n

The ongoing improvement initiatives of the past year reflect our unwavering dedication to offering safe, caring and high-quality services. The renewal of our accreditation status with commendation confirms our teams’ outstanding commitment to excellence, safety and the well-being of the people we serve.<\/p>\r\n

Jason B\u00e9langer<\/strong>
Chair of the Board of Trustees – Portage<\/em><\/p>\r\n

Dear members, partners, donors, employees, volunteers and friends of Portage,<\/p>\r\n

I am very proud to present Portage’s annual report for 2025-2026. There were many challenges throughout the year, but also many significant achievements that reflect our organization’s strength, resilience and commitment.<\/p>\r\n

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I want to draw attention to the exceptional work of our employees, managers and volunteers, who uphold Portage’s mission through their professionalism, humanity and devotion on a daily basis. Thanks to their commitment, Portage has provided quality support services to thousands of people struggling with addiction issues and helped them rediscover hope for a brighter future.<\/p>\r\n

The past year was marked by an important transition at our senior management level. The Board of Trustees is especially grateful to Ms.\u202fGenevi\u00e8ve Lefebvre, President and CEO, whose leadership, diligence and vision have helped consolidate our organization’s foundation while preparing it for the future. Under her governance, Portage continued its modernization efforts, reinforced its governance mechanisms and initiated its strategic planning in a context that is both demanding and constantly evolving.<\/p>\r\n

The Board of Trustees continued to diligently exercise its oversight and strategic support roles. Special emphasis was placed on risk management, financial health, service quality and establishing partnerships that are essential to our mission.<\/p>\r\n

The Board extends its sincere thanks to the donors, governments and collaborators who continue to believe in our mission. Their trust and support are vital to the continuity of our services and our capacity to innovate in response to the population’s growing needs.<\/p>\r\n

Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to Portage’s clients and their families. Thank you for placing your trust in us and allowing us to support you along your journey. Your courage and determination are a constant source of inspiration for everyone in our organization.<\/p>\r\n

Looking to the future, we remain firmly committed to pursuing our mission and contributing to the well-being of the people and communities we serve.<\/p>\r\n

Thank you for being part of the great Portage community.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

National Recognition for the Quality and Safety of Care<\/h3>\r\n
\"EN_ACSealAwC\"<\/figure>\r\n

In June 2025, Portage was once again accredited with commendation by Accreditation Canada<\/strong>. This recognition reflects the fact that Portage has implemented organization-wide exemplary practices, upheld its tradition of continuous improvement and exceeded the average performance level for national establishments. It also attests to the quality of our services, which focus on individuals throughout the stages of their recovery. Finally, it reflects the strength of our therapeutic community approach, the experiential knowledge of our counsellors and the excellence of our nursing team.<\/p>\r\n

Research for Innovation and Continuous Improvement<\/h3>\r\n

A new scientific committee <\/strong>was established this year. Composed of Portage representatives and major Quebec and Canadian figures in the field of addiction, it will be a driving force for innovation and continuous improvement. By monitoring scientific advances and healthcare network guidelines, it will help our organization maintain evidence-based clinical practices that meet emerging needs. The committee’s work will inform our research priorities, help us develop new strategic partnerships and support the development of research-action projects to improve services on the ground.<\/p>\r\n

Joining the Conversation on the Future of Addiction Services<\/h3>\r\n
\"Ipad<\/figure>\r\n

Portage participated in discussions surrounding the government of Quebec’s future guidelines on mental health, homelessness and substance use by submitting a brief entitled S’unir pour mieux soutenir\u202f: du rep\u00e9rage \u00e0 l’arrimage des services sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s pour un r\u00e9tablissement durable*<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. As seen in the 17 recommendations outlined in our brief, these discussions underscore the growing needs of individuals struggling with substance use and the importance of offering a continuum of services that are accessible, integrated and tailored to our clients’ real-life situations. real-life situations.

Clinical Ethics: A Cornerstone of Our Practices<\/h3>\r\n
\"lionel<\/figure>\r\n

Portage reached an important milestone with the consolidation of its Clinical Ethics Committee (CEC). Five clinical<\/strong> ethics workshops were held, bringing together 142 directors and employees from across its centres<\/strong> to examine and discuss issues encountered in their daily practice. By supporting teams who deal with complex cases, the CEC contributes to the ongoing improvement of our practices and reflects our commitment to offering thoughtful, client-focused services.<\/p>\r\n

Strengthening our Trauma-Related Expertise<\/h3>\r\n

The reflective practice training project led by Dr.\u202fCaroline Larocque and Dr.\u202fNancy St-Laurent (trauma-informed approach) continued throughout the year, with training sessions for supervisors and clinical staff at Portage centres. Twelve two-hour sessions<\/strong> were offered: six for unit managers and six for counsellors<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

The goal of this project is to provide additional tools to teams working with clients who have complex attachment issues and often present with repeated relational traumas, deep mistrust, low tolerance for discomfort and significant emotional regulation issues. On the clinical level, this training plays a key role in improving our teams’ ability to read client behaviour, informing our counsellors’ intervention approach and using supervision as a means of ensuring quality, relational stability and therapeutic safety.<\/p>\r\n

Advancing Solutions at the National Level<\/h3>\r\n

Portage attended the National Conference of the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction <\/strong>(CCSA) held in Halifax in November 2025. The conference theme, “Anchoring Hope”, echoed that of the National Addiction Awareness Week. Portage added its voice to practitioners and community leaders from across the country to help develop prevention, treatment and recovery strategies that empower individuals and strengthen communities.<\/p>\r\n

Bringing Together International Leaders to Envision the Future of Care<\/h3>\r\n
\"IMG_9528\"<\/figure>\r\n

This year Portage hosted a meeting of the Global Leadership Exchange 2026 that brought together global leaders committed to the advancement of addiction services. This event, as well as initiatives undertaken with various research partners, particularly in the areas of screen addiction and substance use trajectories among sexually and gender-diverse people, reflect Portage’s active involvement in clinical innovation, knowledge sharing and evolving service offerings.<\/p>\r\n

Reshaping our Programs to Improve our Youth Services<\/h4>\r\n

After conducting service quality audits and consultations with its residents, Portage reviewed its youth programs at Lac \u00c9cho and Saint-Malachie as part of its commitment to continuously improve its services and address the needs of adolescents and young adults. The review process involved listening to client feedback, analyzing our practices and mobilizing our teams to align our programming with realities on-the-ground and strike a balance between therapeutic activities, rest periods and general well-being. Through this process, our programs continue to evolve according to a human, structured and recovery-focused approach.<\/p>\r\n

\"Instagram<\/figure>\r\n

Expanding Outreach Services<\/h4>\r\n

Portage continued to connect with the community through its outreach counsellor and its representation and awareness services. New partnerships have been formed with organizations in Western Quebec, including CISSS and CIUSSS, schools, hospitals and police departments. In addition, solid working relationships have been established with two of Montreal’s largest anglophone school boards, the Lester B.\u202fPearson School Board and the English Montreal School Board (EMSB), and with several community organizations. By strengthening its ties with the community, Portage wants to emphasize earlier intervention, improve referral to appropriate services for youth and their families, and help prevent their condition from deteriorating before they enter our programs.<\/p>\r\n

Training Counsellors to Help Prevent Sexual Exploitation<\/h4>\r\n

In response to sexual exploitation issues in the Chaudi\u00e8re-Appalaches region, two Portage Saint-Malachie counsellors received specialized training in sexual exploitation prevention and intervention. To address the needs voiced by some of our organization’s partners, they subsequently trained nearly fifty youth counsellors in the region<\/strong>. This initiative will help improve the youth network’s capacity to intervene, provide specialized services to deal with the scourge of sexual exploitation and provide better protection for vulnerable youth in the region.<\/p>\r\n

Marking the First Year of the Moncton Community Care Program<\/h4>\r\n

As concerns over substance use disorders and overdosing continue to grow throughout the Greater Moncton area, Portage Atlantic’s Moncton Community Care Program is highlighting the importance of early intervention. Since it started one year ago, the program has helped youth and their families access the support they need before their problems escalate and guided them along a more positive path.<\/p>\r\n

Mobilizing to Meet a Growing Demand<\/h4>\r\n

Portage continued to address a growing demand among adult clients by implementing services to assist them before they enter the residential centre in Pr\u00e9vost. These services allow us to stay in touch with future clients, sustain their motivation to change and help prepare them for their recovery journey.<\/p>\r\n

Tailoring Our Support for People With Criminal Records<\/h4>\r\n

Thanks to a new partnership with the Centre Saint\u2011Louis in Quebec City, Portage now has the expertise to provide better support to people who have had or are currently having difficulties with the law. The improved service offering includes group interventions and individual meetings that are more tailored to their needs. As a result of this new partnership, Portage has hired two new resources to improve its ability to deliver quality interventions and support more people throughout their recovery and their social reintegration.<\/p>\r\n

Through its partnership with the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res (UQTR), this year Portage enhanced its specialized psychological services for women facing complex life situations marked by trauma, violence, dependency, parenting issues and significant psychosocial vulnerability. More than 270 specialized psychotherapeutic interventions<\/strong> were conducted thanks to the specialized clinical internship program<\/strong>. This initiative created a safe therapeutic environment where women can begin an in-depth healing process, develop new adaptation strategies and consolidate their path to recovery, often at the most critical junctures of their journey.<\/p>\r\n

Rebuilding the Mother-Child Bond Through Recreational Activities<\/h4>\r\n

Thanks to the support of the Valero Energy Foundation of Canada, the Portage Mother and Child Centre continued to offer recreational activities that strengthen the parent-child bond during the recovery process. For many mothers, this bond does not come naturally: because they have had difficult lives and were sometimes deprived of positive parental role models, they must learn to build something with their child that they didn’t have themselves. This year, 59 mothers and 53 children took part in fifty activities, from cooking and crafting workshops to cultural outings and outdoor activities. These special moments helped the mothers feel more confident as parents, create positive memories with their children and discover simple ways to enjoy themselves and bond with their children on a daily basis.<\/p>\r\n

Transforming our Services to Better Suit Emerging Needs<\/h4>\r\n

The Mental Health and Addiction Centre continued to develop its service offering in response to the complex and evolving needs of individuals living with both addiction and a psychotic disorder. By reviewing its clinical practices and reorganizing its services, the Centre enhanced the quality of its care and its ability to deliver services to these vulnerable clients.<\/p>\r\n

Social Reintegration<\/h3>\r\n

Nutrition, A Vital Aspect of Health and Recovery<\/h4>\r\n

Healthy eating and regular access to quality food are important for recovery, overall health and social reintegration. Many of the people we help have limited access to healthy food due to financial issues, housing instability or homelessness. To address these challenges, Portage introduced new initiatives<\/strong> that focus on nutrition, autonomy and food safety.<\/p>\r\n

Weekly Nutrition Workshops<\/h4>\r\n

Nutrition workshops are offered every week to all our social reintegration clients. The content of the workshops was developed and vetted with the help of a nutritionist. Participants get practical information on nutrition, meal planning, healthy choices and food budgeting-all this helps promote self-reliance throughout the course of their recovery.<\/p>\r\n

Community Kitchens: A Part of Social Reintegration<\/h4>\r\n
\"20260509_095224\"<\/figure>\r\n

This year Portage launched a community kitchen program where participants get together to prepare simple, nutritious and affordable meals while developing their cooking skills. But community kitchens are about more than meal preparation; they promote cooperation and socialization, as well as self-confidence and a sense of belonging. They are also an opportunity for participants in the social reintegration program to practice what they learn in their nutrition workshops.<\/p>\r\n

To make sure these activities meet the best practices for community kitchens and food safety, Portage has joined the Regroupement des cuisines collectives du Qu\u00e9bec (RCCQ).<\/p>\r\n

For the third year in a row, MIRE (Mouvement pour l’int\u00e9gration et la r\u00e9tention en emploi) reached 100% of its admissions target, providing services to nearly 450 people. In cooperation with its Centre-Sud partners, the Montreal-based organization took part in two job fairs that reached nearly 700 people. It also hosted the 7th edition of the Salon de l’insertion et de la formation, an employment integration and training event that attracted a record 850 visitors. MIRE’s mission goes beyond employability. The organization takes a global approach that considers all a participant’s needs and works with a large network of community partners. Its goal is to promote lasting integration into the labour market.<\/p>\r\n

A Partnership that Opens Up New Perspectives<\/h4>\r\n

Portage’s Centre de formation \u00e0 l’emploi in Quebec City renewed its agreement with Services Qu\u00e9bec. Thanks to this agreement, 170 people <\/strong>received services to help them go back to school or reintegrate into the labour market<\/strong>. This agreement will enable people to clarify their career plans, improve their skills and follow a structured path towards greater autonomy. Portage Qu\u00e9bec wishes to thank its valued partners in the field of addiction in the National Capital region. Their commitment directly contributes to improving our clients’ future.<\/p>\r\n

A Word from the Portage Foundation<\/h2>\r\n

Dear donors, partners, volunteers and friends of Portage, <\/strong><\/p>\r\n

This has been a memorable year for the Portage Foundation. Thanks to the generosity and steadfast commitment of our community, our 2025-2026 fundraising campaigns in Montreal and Quebec City had their best year ever, generating 2.7 million dollars, an 18.2% increase over the previous year. This unparalleled success was made possible in particular by the 22nd Edition of the Soir\u00e9e des Grands Philanthropes – A Tribute to Julie Godin, Executive Chair of the Board of Directors of CGI. Julie’s unifying leadership and the dedication of the members of the honorary committee made all the difference. We are deeply grateful for their support.<\/p>\r\n

In addition to these record results, $1,354,000 was raised to complete the capitalization campaign. We want to highlight the outstanding contribution of the Fondation Marcelle et Jean Coutu, whose support has been vital to the construction of a new wing for the adolescents and young adults pavilion at Portage Lac \u00c9cho.<\/p>\r\n

In New Brunswick, the annual fundraising campaign also had a record year with donations totalling $465,000.<\/p>\r\n

This success reflects the dedication of the chairs and members of our fundraising committees, whose commitment plays a direct role in transforming lives.<\/p>\r\n

Continue Reading<\/p>\r\n

Beyond the financial results, these donations allow us to offer quality programs, sustain innovation and improve our ability to meet the growing needs of people struggling with substance use disorders.<\/p>\r\n

The Foundation also continued to reinforce its governance and financial management throughout the year. Our financial statements received an unqualified audit opinion, and the Board of Directors pursued its efforts to ensure the strength and lasting future of the organization.<\/p>\r\n

We want to underline the remarkable contribution of Richard Mayrand and Andr\u00e9 Roy, who are leaving the Board of Directors after many years of service. Their unwavering dedication to our cause and their invaluable expertise played a decisive part in the development and expanding role of our organization.<\/p>\r\n

I want to extend my sincere thanks to my fellow directors, the chairs of our campaigns, committee members, partners and all our donors. My thanks also go to the Portage and Foundation teams, whose daily work gives our mission all its meaning.<\/p>\r\n

Your confidence inspires us to pursue our efforts so that more people can access the support they need to live a sober, healthy and productive life.<\/p>\r\n

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, partners and volunteers, we are able to organize inspiring, community-building events that have helped us raise essential funds in support of our rehabilitation programs.<\/p>\r\n

We want to thank the Chair of the annual fundraising campaign in Montreal, Guy Nadeau, Vice-President of Desjardins Business Montreal, and the Chair of the campaign in Quebec City, Andr\u00e9 Roy, President of PMT Roy Insurance and Financial Services from 2011 to 2023, for their unwavering support over the years.<\/p>\r\n

Every donation truly helps transform lives and plays an essential role in Portage’s ability to maintain and improve the quality of its services. Without this vital support, Portage would not be able to offer the same level of excellence in its services to people in recovery. Whether through the\u202fSoir\u00e9e des Grands Philanthropes event, our golf tournaments, or creative initiatives such as the event held at the Maison Louis-Joseph Forget, the generosity of our donors genuinely supports our mission and the development of services that meet our clients’ needs.<\/p>\r\n

The Portage Atlantic Foundation<\/h3>\r\n

Donor support has a meaningful and lasting impact on the youth who come to Portage Atlantic and the families who support them on their journey. Through the generosity of our donors, young people are able to access the care, structure, and encouragement they need to begin rebuilding their lives. Families, in turn, are supported as they reconnect, strengthen communication, and regain hope for the future. This support helps renew family ties and create healthier communities as well as brighter futures for young people throughout Atlantic Canada.<\/p>\r\n

Ongoing donor support is essential to maintaining and enhancing the programs and services offered at Portage Atlantic. We extend a special thank you to The New Brunswick Children’s Foundation, The Windsor Foundation, The McCain Foundation, The Fredericton Community Foundation, UCT Saint John-Jack Kidd Council\u202f755, Lions of District N\u202f1, Atlantic Lottery, Saint John LNG and Riverview Ford for their unwavering generosity.<\/p>\r\n

We are deeply grateful to our major donors and to all those who give consistently, year after year, and whose generosity is an essential part of making hope, healing and lasting changing possible. Their commitment provides the stability needed to sustain Portage Atlantic’s therapeutic community work, respond to emerging needs, and ensure that youth and families know they are not alone.<\/p>\r\n

Volunteers Who Change Lives<\/h4>\r\n

As part of National Volunteer Week, Portage Atlantic highlighted the invaluable role of the volunteers who contribute daily to the well-being and success of the youth we support. At the Recognition Ceremony held on April 23, a Portage graduate gave an inspiring testimonial that underscored the very real impact of their commitment. During the event, the 2026 Heritage Prize was awarded to Dr.\u202fRussell King<\/strong>, former chair of the Portage Atlantic Board, to honour the outstanding contribution of past and current members of the Portage Atlantic Board.<\/p>\r\n

Impact of Your Donations<\/h2>\r\n

Quebec<\/h3>\r\n

Portage is funded by Sant\u00e9 Qu\u00e9bec but also relies on private sector support to enhance its services and adapt them to today’s reality. To do so, the Portage Foundation leads two annual fundraising campaigns-one in the Greater Montreal area and the other in the Quebec City region. Each campaign is spearheaded by a committee of business people who care about our cause and engage their networks to help us reach our overall goal of $2\u202fmillion.<\/p>\r\n
