CHAIR’S
MESSAGE
“The welfare and growth of our communities
Committed to
helping through
challenging times
As Chair of the J. Armand Bombardier
Foundation, I am pleased to present
the Foundation’s 2008–2009
Annual Activity Report, which
provides an overview of what has
been a very exciting year.
A better world,
today and tomorrow
The welfare and growth of our
communities has been the
cornerstone of the J. Armand
Bombardier Foundation ever
since it was founded in 1965. This
year, through our philanthropic
activities, we have channelled
more than $8 million into the
fields of education, healthcare,
community support, as well
as arts and culture. Some 141
organizations nationwide have
benefited from our support for
projects that promise hope,
mutual aid and change.

The J. Armand Bombardier
Museum in Valcourt enhanced
its reputation across the
nation thanks to two major
commemorative exhibits. The
first, Laurent Beaudoin in Action,
focused on the 45-year career of
Laurent Beaudoin at the helm
of Bombardier Inc. Through
his personality and leadership,
this visionary grew the
company into the multinational
corporation we know today.
The second exhibit, entitled
50 Years of Ski-Doo, celebrates
Joseph-Armand Bombardier’s
last invention. The recreational
snowmobile is one of my father’s
most important legacies, and
the story of its development is
an admirable example of his
determination and genius. The
art exhibits presented at the
Yvonne L. Bombardier Cultural
Centre were also an immense
success. More than 20 highly
talented Québec artists unveiled
their works to a wide audience.
Deeply concerned about the
current economic situation,
the governors of the J. Armand
Bombardier Foundation have
been looking at various
strategies to maximize the
Foundation’s impact in times of
crisis. They want the Foundation
to actively pursue its mission
during this period when needs
are enormous and support from
philanthropic organizations is
crucial to the survival of social
and humanitarian organizations.
If our financial situation allows,
the Foundation’s donations will
exceed the $100 million mark
sometime in the coming year –
a year which also marks the
45th anniversary of its founding.
In closing, I would like to express
my heartfelt appreciation
to the governors and all the
Foundation’s employees for their
commitment and professionalism. Thanks to them, we can
accomplish our mission for a better world today and tomorrow.

MISSION
Close, lasting ties
“Not many
foundations have
the privilege of
being able to open
their doors and form
direct, lasting ties with
the general public.”
Lyne Lavoie
To carry on the humanitarian work
of Joseph-Armand Bombardier and
contribute to the realization of
Bombardier’s social responsibility.
Not many charitable foundations
have the privilege of being able to
open their doors and form direct,
lasting ties with the general
public. We are fortunate to welcome more than 50,000 visitors
every year at the J. Armand Bombardier Museum and the Yvonne
L. Bombardier Cultural Centre
in Valcourt, in Quebec’s Eastern
Townships.
Moreover, our philanthropic
activities enable us to assist
thousands of people in Québec
and across Canada, who in turn
become ambassadors in promoting our activities within their
communities. These close ties
provide us with a front-row seat
to the realities that affect our fellow citizens and residents.
Over the past year, the Foundation
has been involved in numerous
activities in Valcourt, where our
various cultural venues offered
an extremely interesting and
varied program. The J. Armand
Bombardier Museum presented two high-calibre temporary
exhibitions and continued to
strengthen its ties with stakeholders in the region. Important
partnership agreements were
renewed, particularly with Tourisme Cantons-de-l’Est (the Eastern Townships’ tourist bureau)
and the Val-Saint-François Local

MESSAGE
Economic Development Centre
(CLD), to promote our attractions.
The Yvonne L. Bombardier Cultural Centre featured four successive
visual arts exhibits. The Yvonne
L. Bombardier Library, with its
characteristic creativity, offered
a rich array of educational activities for residents of Valcourt and
the surrounding region, while its
diversified collection continued
to delight regular users and local
schools alike.
A shared approach—
the core of our activities
I was greatly honoured to be
named Executive Director of the
Foundation in October 2008. I am
inspired by the work of JosephArmand Bombardier and thus
motivated to carry on the Foundation’s activities and contribute
to the realization of Bombardier’s
social responsibility, a formidable
challenge indeed. Dream, believe,
share… These three words, which
express the vision of the J. Armand
Bombardier Foundation, take on
their full meaning in times of
hardship and uncertainty.
I am very fortunate to be able
to count on a strong, committed team whose contribution is
essential to achieving the Foundation’s mission. Through their
exceptional professionalism and
dedication, our employees help
the Foundation maintain the tradition of excellence it has upheld
since 1965. I strongly believe that
one of the Foundation’s greatest
strengths is its people, namely
the board of governors and the
employees.
The year ahead will feature many
more exciting projects. Now, more
than ever, the Foundation’s priorities call for a shared approach
and productive partnerships to
support and sustain our work.

OVERVIEW
PHILANTHROPIC WORK
AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
Valcourt, cradle of the
foundation’s cultural
and educational activities
In addition to its philanthropic
activities, the Foundation had a
very dynamic year in Valcourt.
Museum is becoming an increasingly popular attraction with
tourists from around the world.
Last year it attracted visitors from
France, England, Switzerland,
the United States and every part
of Canada. Many of them took
advantage of a combined entry
ticket that allowed them to visit
both the Museum and the BRP
factory facilities.

“We want to thank you for welcoming a group of our electromechanical engineering students on
October 1, 2008,” writes Denise
Tremblay, assistant director of the
Centre de formation professionnelle de Québec. “Their visit gave
them insights and perspective on
certain things they had already
learned about their profession
and will definitely have positive
repercussions on their academic
commitment and motivation.
Your efforts also went far beyond
providing the framework of a simple
tour, helping to nurture our next
generation of engineers.”
In keeping with its mission, the
Centre provided an outstanding
showcase for local artists and
designers. Likewise, the Yvonne
L. Bombardier Library continued
to energetically meet the needs
of Valcourt residents and the area
population by providing a vast
range of services, including some
30 activities and workshops.
The Library is renowned for its
partnerships with schools in the
region and its “Access to books”
(Accès-livres) program.
Focus O N E N T R E P R E N E U R S H I P
Innovation, entrepreneurial spirit and social
commitment were three qualities that helped Joseph-Armand Bombardier leave his
mark on history. The Foundation thus makes
a point of supporting organizations and institutions that seek to educate a new generation
of entrepreneurs.

EDUCATION
Investing in the future
True to its firm belief that education is the driving force of any
society, the Foundation donated
$1.9 million to support education
and research in 2008-2009. Its
commitment to education makes
it possible for hundreds of students
to continue their studies and for
numerous Canadian educational
institutions to finance their own
scholarship programs and carry
out special projects. Over and
above this $1.9 million figure, the
Foundation has made additional
commitments to donate $2.4 million
to various teaching institutions
over the next five years.

“Thank you for investing in the next generation.
Your contribution clearly recognizes success
and celebrates the students’ efforts to pursue
their career goals. That kind of support means
a great deal, as it allows us to concentrate
on our studies and aim for excellence.
I feel tremendously proud today.”

Following the example of JosephArmand Bombardier, who cared
deeply about the welfare of his
fellow citizens, the Foundation
supports organizations whose
forward-looking and high-potential programs help establish
better living conditions in their
communities.
In the past year, the Foundation

Twenty percent of Canadians

problems are still the subject
of numerous prejudices, both
socially and professionally. The
psychiatric community sometimes has difficulty obtaining
the financing needed to effectively deal with mental health
issues. The annual costs associated with caring for people
with mental illnesses exceed
$8 billion nationwide.
In 2008–2009, the Foundation
acknowledged this situation
by granting assistance to two
Montréal mental healthcare
institutions, both with longestablished reputations. The
contribution will round out the
support that the Foundation
has already provided for many
years to community organizations working to help people
and their families struggling
with mental health problems.

Books…

More dynamic than ever after
42 years of existence, the Yvonne
L. Bombardier Library continues
to serve residents of the Valcourt
region. The main source of traffic
consists of the numerous avid
readers who cherish the library so
dearly. Many of these “regulars”
are also attracted by the activities
and services offered – literary
events, poetry readings, lectures
and much more.

their desire to assume a more active role with the

LES GRANDS FRÈRES ET LES GRANDES SŒURS DE L’ESTRIE
An initial gesture of support was made by the Réseau d’amis de
Sherbrooke, who agreed to share their offices with the Grands Frères et
Grandes Sœurs de l’Estrie team. All that was needed was a partner who
would be willing to provide a crucial financial boost in order to make the
restructuring plan work.
The energy and spirit of the existing team and the serious steps they
had taken to rectify their situation convinced the governors of the
J. Armand Bombardier Foundation to support the organization. To help
guarantee its survival, the Foundation financed ongoing activities during
the restructuring period, while keeping close track of developments
and results.
A year later… what a difference! Les Grands Frères et les Grandes Sœurs
de l’Estrie have secured their own financing for the next three years. Their
“Your announcement of support will be
etched in our memory forever. At that
moment, you were the leverage we desperately needed in order to continue.
Above all, you bought us the time we so
badly needed, as everything else was in
place: a solid organization, a clear mission
and programs that were proven to be
effective. In other words, everything was
set, but we were relegated to the role of
spectators, waiting to get back on stage.
We were ready, the phone was ringing
and the public said they were waiting
for us… but we didn’t have the means to
fulfil our mission.”
“In an era when the family is being
redefined, the mission of Big Brothers
and Big Sisters is more important than
ever. The role they play for children is a
perfect match for the values of mutual
cooperation and hope that the J. Armand
Bombardier Foundation promotes.”

THE FOUNDATION AND SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY
Employees’ Social
Action Day
Winter Cleanup
at Orford
First introduced in 2007, the
Social Action Day is an annual
event intended to:
This year, Foundation employees
left their mark at the Orford
Arts Centre, where they worked
outdoors to help prepare the Centre’s grounds for winter.
• Enhance employee commitment
to the Foundation and its
mission and create a sense
of belonging
•C
reate a spirit of teamwork
and cooperation within the
organization
•E
ncourage employees to get
more socially involved
•P
rovide practical assistance
to an organization in need
32
“The Foundation already supports
the Orford Arts Centre and its
mission by making the arts more
accessible to a wider audience,”
says Denise Bordeleau, Director of Development and Special
Events at the Orford Arts Centre.
“On October 16, 2008, despite the
rainy weather, the Foundation’s
employees gave us a donation
of a whole day of work outdoors.
The result of this magnificently
orchestrated teamwork is obvious
the moment you enter our site.
What was even more astonishing,
however, was the spirit in which
everybody worked. We really felt
their kindness, friendliness and
sense of responsibility toward getting the job done right.”
A Carbon Neutral Day
While they hoped to leave a visible mark at the Orford Arts Centre, the Foundation’s employees
were anxious to make their Social
Action Day’s ecological footprint
as small as possible. Special
attention was paid to the materials and supplies purchased for
this event, and preference given
to locally produced, organic,
fair-trade and biodegradable
products. Carpooling was also
encouraged for transportation.
Almost any organized event,
however, involves some unavoidable amount of greenhouse gas
emissions. These were compensated by the purchase of carbon
credits through Planetair – the
first time the carbon-offset service has certified an event organized by a private foundation.
