where everything is possible.
Believe… in yourself, in others,
and in the future.
Share… by innovating and showing
leadership for the well-being
of the community.
The J. Armand Bombardier

The Story
Continues
The mission of the J. Armand
Bombardier Foundation
is more relevant than ever.
As the notion of social
responsibility becomes
more deeply engrained,
the Foundation continues
to enrich its relationship
with the communities it
serves, with the experience,
sensitivity, and expertise it has
developed over the years.
It is in the values inherited
from my father—creativity,
a spirit of innovation, and
inventive genius—that the
Foundation draws meaning
for its efforts. And this
personality has been
apparent in every one
of our actions and in each
of our partnerships.
The extent to which my mother contributed to the perpetuation
of these values within our family and the Foundation should be
underlined. As the Yvonne L. Bombardier Cultural Centre
celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, it seems to me
appropriate to recall the importance of this compassionate,
attentive, and loving woman, without whom the Foundation
would never have come into existence. Unveiled last October,
a bust at the entrance to the Cultural Centre bearing her name
pays tribute to her, commemorating all of her work for the
community. A discreet, but so very unifying presence.
If the Foundation is still motivated by a sincere desire to
contribute to the well-being of its fellow citizens, it is because
it is guided by a Board of Governors who cares deeply about
preserving the tradition of proximity that characterizes it.
I would like to note the departure of Mr. John Paul Macdonald,
a Board member for eight years, whose term is coming to an
end. Mr. Macdonald, through his fair, seriously contemplated,
and constructive comments, has significantly contributed to the
Foundation’s progress. Bringing his experience of the corporate
world, he has put forward a diversity of perspectives essential
in analyzing complex challenges. I warmly thank him and
the other governors who devote their expertise and time
to the Foundation and to achieving its vision.
In closing, I would also like to highlight the invaluable
contributions of the Foundation’s employees, who every day
embody the mission we have been given, demonstrating
enthusiasm, generosity, and a desire for a job well done.
Janine Bombardier
PRESIDENT
4 | The Story Continues
Any significant change is the result
of a process that takes into account
the complexity of the surrounding
reality. To move ahead and witness
innovation that causes real change
to emerge, an organization
must ensure it is based on firm
foundations. This is what we have
dedicated ourselves to this year.
A Changing
Context
Building on the momentum that began by
challenging the status quo, we have experimented
with new ways of doing things, forcing ourselves
beyond the tried and true. This has generated an
exuberance, of which one of the most tangible
aspect is an expanded program, where
new activities have been mixed in large numbers
with the more popular ones.
However, like a theatrical production for which
the public performance is the climax, the
behind-the-scenes work is the basis for joint
endeavours. It is the combination of tasks
accomplished, some visible and others less so,
that results in a quality production that reflects both
the organization’s mission and public expectations.
This year, I invite you to look behind the scenes at
the Foundation and discover what goes on beyond
the spotlights: the moments of inspiration, the long
hours, the many cooperative efforts, the learning…
Another perspective on our accomplishments
whose guiding principle is a clear desire to reach
out to our audiences.
This reaching-out experience, which we wanted to
be memorable for visitors, called on their curiosity,
their inventiveness and their senses during some
unusual interactive activities. We not only enjoyed
welcoming them into our beautiful facilities, we also
did not hesitate to meet them elsewhere—at school,
in their workplaces, during events, or quite simply in
their homes—through the magic of new technologies.
We also surveyed our partner organizations regarding
their satisfaction with our philanthropic practices.
We are particularly pleased with the terms they use to
describe the Foundation: “accessibility,” “openness,”
“confidence,”—all words that reflect our desire to
forge close and sustainable ties with our partners.
At the heart of this surge of activity, the administrative
services team has made a conscious and sustained
effort to facilitate the flow of cooperation
and internal communications that has resulted
in greater synergy among the units and thus
enhanced their effectiveness.
A selection of programs as varied as that of the
Foundation requires a diversity of expertise, a shared
desire to innovate, and a solid capability to get things
done. I sincerely thank the employees for their
exceptional commitment and involvement. Thank you
also to the governors and to our partners who share
the Foundation’s values and who support us in all
of our endeavours.

“The J. Armand Bombardier
Foundation is one of our partners
that has had the greatest impact on
our success, not only for financial
reasons, but also through the services
it offers as well as the encouragement
it has continually given us
from the very start.”

Strongly rooted in its milieu, the Foundation
is part of an ever-changing community,
influenced by various trends, ideas, and
challenges. This inspiring effervescence
brings our way an increasing flow
of information as well as numerous
opportunities for collaboration
and knowledge transfer.

From this exercise emerged two principles:
• The desire to contribute to the development of
communities, organizations, and individuals by
supporting organizations and projects that promote
capacity building and human dignity
• The desire to promote social innovation, in both
the management process and in projects themselves,
from the perspective of social change
Based on this reflection and a survey of the Foundation’s
practices conducted among all of our partner
organizations, we have worked on strengthening the
capacity building program and have continued developing
partnerships that contribute to making our efforts in the
community even more relevant. And this has been done
in addition to managing donations, which represents
the major part of our daily work.

Exposure to innovative ideas and
approaches in the different networks
in which the Foundation is active enables
us to match our programming and
interventions with challenges being
experienced in the community.
Hence, participation in various events,
conferences, and meetings that enhance
our knowledge of what is happening
in the field and of the stakeholders
involved, while expanding
the Foundation’s outreach.

Community
Support
With the conviction that a community’s
sustainable development requires the
empowerment of its members, the Foundation
supports organizations that promote individual
dignity and autonomy to enable the active
improvement of living conditions.
Social Innovation:
An approach, a practice,
or an intervention that profoundly
modifies the work of an institution,
organization, or a community
to reduce vulnerability.
Innovating means being more
efficient, creating new services,
and finding new ways to
access services. Innovating means
thinking differently, reasoning
from a novel perspective.
Activity taking place at the Institut du Nouveau Monde summer school
The Institut du Nouveau Monde is at the
forefront of the effort to foster civic engagement,
contributing to a renewal of ideas since its founding
in 2004. The Institut’s efforts also promote
the enhancement of civic skills, the strengthening
of social ties, and the development of democratic
institutions.
One of its initiatives in particular—the program
À go, on change le monde !—caught the
Foundation’s attention. The program promotes
and supports social entrepreneurship projects
carried out by young people aged 15 to 35. This is
another avenue for youth engagement—carrying
out a concrete project that helps change the world.
When joining À go, participants enter a world
where the drive to innovate affects even the tiniest
detail and where numerous activities intertwine,
stimulating creativity, providing inspiration from
experienced entrepreneurs, creating business plans,
and developing a network of peers. Every year, more
than 50 young people meet at the INM’s summer
school. Interactive concept-development workshops
and individual work sessions with mentors follow in
succession, as the participants learn to synthesize
and present their projects effectively.
In addition to supporting the program’s mission,
the Foundation provides an annual bursary to help
fund the launch of an innovative social enterprise.
Regardless of its legal framework, location, or even
the age of its founders, the enterprise chosen must
respect a single criterion: provide an innovative and
sustainable response to a social issue. This year,
90 project managers submitted their projects.
The bursary was awarded to Moitié-Moitié.
Founded by Tania Jimenez, this social enterprise
proposes a series of culinary activities to bring long
established Quebecers who are open to discovery and
new Quebecers from various cultural backgrounds
together to share experiences, discuss ideas,
talk on an equal footing, and create ties.
The tasting experience serves as a pretext
for breaking social isolation.
As the social and community milieu reaches
a crossroads in its development, we firmly believe
that social innovation will play a determining role
in its future and renewal, through consideration
of different approaches, proposing new avenues,
and questioning the status quo.
Tania Jimenez, founder of Moitié-Moitié
Education
In addition to offering postsecondary bursary
programs, the Foundation supports innovative
educational projects that enhance the school
experience and help keep students at all levels
interested in pursuing their studies. It also
provides funding to specialized institutions,
fostering the development of capabilities
and autonomy among individuals with
specific needs.
Anna Mierzwa dreams of becoming a surgeon.
A third-year student in biomedical sciences,
she is aware that this profession requires a deep
commitment at both a personal and human level.
Anna has already made a difference in her community:
volunteering in a veterinary hospital, participating
in the Relay for Life walk, and having had experiences
in international cooperation. In summer 2013, thanks
to a bursary from the Foundation, Anna will be going
to Guatemala where she will help with the construction
and setting up of a school in a small rural community.
Her experiences there will inspire her in her
professional development.
“I am delighted with the opportunity
that this bursary is offering me to give back
to the community by promoting education
in a rural area of Latin America. […]
I think that growing up in poverty is simply
a condition of birth. Education is important
because it provides these children with
a chance to be autonomous.”
Anna Mierzwa
Anna Mierzwa, J. Armand Bombardier
Community Service Learning Award recipient
The largest bilingual university in North America,
the University of Ottawa has an enrolment of more
than 40,000 students. With its 450 programs,
the University provides instruction leading to an
impressive range of career choices. Beyond that,
it seeks to be more than a teaching and research
institution by striving to instil in its students
a desire to contribute to a better world and
become responsible citizens more aware
of social issues and the positive impact
that they can have on their own communities.
This vision has taken shape in the creation of the
Centre for Global and Community Engagement,
which promotes lifelong commitment to community
engagement and social responsibility among all
members of the University community. The Centre
accomplishes this by integrating academics with
meaningful volunteer service and community
partnerships. To do so, the Centre provides a
one-stop shop for information on volunteer
opportunities in Ottawa and around the world.
The University also has a dynamic mobility program,
which enables students demonstrating excellence
in their field of study to take one or two sessions
at a university abroad or to participate
in international internships.
The Foundation has been supporting these
two components, through community engagement
and student mobility bursaries, since 2008. We do so
because we believe in the potential of experiential
learning, which combines formal learning with
experiences in the field and thus helps enrich the
student and the individuals with whom he/she has
come into contact. To date, more than 50 students
have benefited from this opportunity to be exposed
to a different reality, both locally and internationally.

Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre
Healthcare
The development of medical
care with a human dimension
has been a priority for the
Foundation since its inception.
Its efforts are particularly
focused on research, the
acquisition of cutting-edge
equipment, and improvements
to patient care. Over the
years, we have concentrated
our interventions on three
areas of healthcare that affect
thousands of Canadians:
cardiovascular diseases,
cancer, and mental health.
The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre serves the
population of Northern Ontario, a pool of 230,000 people,
including a number of Aboriginal communities.
Established in 2004, this hospital with distinctive architecture
relies on state-of-the-art facilities and attracting specialists
from both Canada and abroad. Banking on a solid team,
the hospital is able to offer the regional population
a diverse range of specialized services, eliminating
their need to travel to major urban centres.
Northern Ontario has the highest rate of cardiovascular
disease in Canada, with 70% of adults having at least
one risk factor and 50% of deaths linked to cardiovascular
diseases. To counter this trend, the Thunder Bay Regional
Health Sciences Centre opted, from the early 2000s on,
to devote part of its efforts to this public health issue.
In 2011, the Hospital inaugurated a second cardiac
catheterization laboratory, thanks to a major contribution
from the Foundation. Offering services 24 hours a day,
7 days a week, the new laboratory has reduced patient
wait time and improved the treatment of urgent cases,
an enormous challenge for any health institution.

Les Grands Ballets
Arts and Culture
Although practical and
pragmatic, our society
would be wrong to regard
arts and culture as simple
entertainment. The result of a
process inspired by the senses
and emotions, art in all its
forms serves as incubator for
the creativity so essential to
community development.
For more than 50 years, Les Grands Ballets has been renowned
for its commitment to performing the works of up-and-coming
artists, for the high calibre of the performances of its
dancers, and for presenting the great classics of the world’s
leading choreographers. Through production, outreach,
and education, Les Grands Ballets reaches the public near
and far, fostering discovery, stimulating the imagination,
and transmitting the passion of dance.
Several years ago, the company also took on the mandate
of developing educational projects, giving children the
opportunity to experience culture. The Nutcracker Fund
is its main endeavour in this regard. This fund targets
underprivileged children and sick kids, allowing them
to attend a performance of the renowned ballet and to take
part in a workshop led by members of Les Grands Ballets.
The children become familiar with the work, and also
develop their creativity. From every perspective, this outreach
program corresponds with the Foundation’s desire to
ensure that the arts and culture are increasingly shared
with various audiences.

Our institutions are all-the-more attractive to visitors as
they also offer ever-changing, original, fun-filled, educational
activities. The increased number of events requires
ongoing coordination, daily cooperation, and support
from highly qualified actors who put their shoulders
to the wheel without hesitation.
The challenge of promoting all this vitality calls for great
imagination from the communications team, which has
expanded the presence of the Museum and the Cultural
Centre on the Web, thus engaging virtual communities
and opening a direct line of communication with
the audience through social media.

Since fall 2011, a trend has been noted:
the number of groups, guided tours,
and specific events at the Museum
has increased significantly compared
to previous years. This is a direct result
of our aim to ensure that our visitors have
a pleasant and rewarding experience.
Behind the scenes, the team has been
busy creating a setting for each type
of clientele, thus generating many new
events appealing to everyone, from the
youngest to the oldest generations, from
neophytes to the most knowledgeable
about the history of J. Armand
Bombardier and the snowmobile.
It has been our practice to build temporary exhibitions from
scratch. The decision to host travelling exhibitions produced
by large-scale museums has allowed us to create the
conditions required to produce customized programming.
As host institution, we enjoyed adding our own touch to
these exhibitions, by including artifacts from the Museum’s
collection and designing a setting consistent with our image.
Lastly, our targeted efforts have enabled us to strengthen
partnerships with other stakeholders in the immediate region,
including snowmobiling and ATV groups in particular.
Increasingly, the Museum is appealing to the local population
as a meeting and discussion venue. Moreover, Museum
visitors are evolving from spectators to ambassadors.
Exhibitions and Dissemination
Follow the Guide!
A Sure Winner
For visitors, the Museum and legacy of
Joseph-Armand Bombardier come to life through
the gestures and words of a team of 10 experienced
guides who excel at leading tours of the exhibitions
and Valcourt’s BRP plant, and at answering a vast
range of questions posed by vehicle enthusiasts.
In addition to interpreting the collections, the guides
greet and direct visitors, having expanded their
knowledge of the themes presented to more
effectively explain them and highlight the
Museum’s expertise.
During the Grand Prix Ski-Doo® of Valcourt in
February, the town becomes a popular meeting place
for snowmobile fans, who are offered an exclusive
program by the Museum. This year, the team wanted
to surprise visitors by surpassing the expectations of
antique snowmobile collectors, their families and the
public. A whole range of outdoor activities mobilized
all of our staff for two days, enabling participants
to fully enjoy the beautiful winter days, while having
fun and eating onsite. The most resounding success
was undoubtedly the return of the snowmobile
parade, after a one-year hiatus. Applauded by
collectors, the local population, and visitors,
the parade was made possible by strengthening
partnerships with the Town of Valcourt, the regional
chamber of commerce, the local snowmobile club,
and the Val-Saint-François ATV Club.
Direction: the North Pole
The temporary exhibition, Expedition: Arctic,
produced by the Canadian Museum of Civilization,
Canada’s largest museum, took over from the
Bombardier Today exhibition. Presented from
February 1 to April 7, 2013, this exhibition brings
to life the triumphs and tragedies that marked the
1913 to 1918 Canadian expedition to this icy land.
We slipped in a look at the Plaisted expedition, which
reached the North Pole by land for the first time,
driving Ski-Doo® snowmobiles. The tremendous
media response to Expedition: Arctic brought the
Museum impressive visibility.

Intertwined Missions
Meeting “Buffs”
The Museum’s team discovered a new way of
contributing to the Foundation’s philanthropic
work—by providing a showcase for Robotique FIRST
Québec, a partner organization offering an
educational program focusing on ingenuity and
educational success. To inspire the creation of new
robotics teams in Eastern Townships high schools,
the Museum invited representatives from schools,
school boards, and companies to a networking
reception at which existing local teams
demonstrated their robots. The result was
immediate: thanks to this networking activity, two
schools introduced the program. One of them even
reached the grand finale of this international
competition by the end of its first year of activity.
Proud to expand the outreach of the Museum and
Joseph-Armand Bombardier’s work, some of the
Museum’s employees take part in events beyond
the institution’s walls, such as the Salon des sports
récréatifs motorisés in Québec City (recreative
vehicule show), Expo-sno in Saint-Jérôme, and the
festival Neige en fête in Saint-Raymond-de-Portneuf.
Through their presence, interpersonal skills, and
expertise, they maintain close ties with clientele who
are collectors and those who are keen about vehicles
that travel on snow.

Seeking to establish a closer relationship with
Bombardier employees, the communications
team organized a tour of Québec company sites
from Montréal to La Pocatière. Thousands of
employees visited the Museum’s kiosk where they
could learn more about the origins of the company
where they work.

Fame beyond Borders
The Museum’s artifacts and the archival team’s knowledge actually travel!
In fact, history, architecture, and engineering journals frequently start their research
with us, find inspiration in our archival material, then go on to seek additional
information, details… and more.
Authors and museums ask us to validate content. For example, we cooperated with
the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre in Yellowknife regarding the contents
of a temporary exhibition featuring winter transportation: we provided photos and
information, and validated texts accompanying a 1961 Ski-Doo® snowmobile.
We were also actively involved in the creation of an exhibition in partnership with
the Canadian Museum of Civilization, not only validating content, but also sharing
images and video footage, and lending vehicles and artifacts.
At the inauguration of its new head office, the prestigious institution Dyson Canada
borrowed and exhibited a vehicle from our collection, a 1960 Ski-Doo® snowmobile,
to illustrate the major influence of Canadian design and ingenuity on James Dyson.
This inventor of the bagless, cyclone-technology vacuum cleaner states that he was
greatly inspired by Joseph-Armand Bombardier’s inventions.
In the course of a single year, the expertise of five members of our museology and
archives team was called upon to answer 368 requests for information of this type.

Two artists left their imprint on the Cultural Centre through their
unique quest for meaning, which has produced an eclectic body
of work, rich in colour, material, texture, and symbolism. They
invited us to accompany them in their exploration of places and
ideas. Themes of travel and everyday objects such as doors and
shoes became a pretext for questioning personal and social visions.
Behind the scenes, the Cultural Centre’s year began with the
merging into a single entity of the two units that had been sharing
the same building: the exhibition centre and library. The exhibition
centre became the responsibility of the library’s director, who was
promoted to director of the Yvonne L. Bombardier Cultural Centre.
A synergy with other entities remains essential and is reflected in
close collaborations with those in charge of educational activities,
special events, communications, and maintenance, each
contributing to the success of the exhibitions.
In addition, the exhibition selection committee has been expanded
to include a new volunteer member with the mandate to contribute
art expertise, provide an external, artistic viewpoint in analyzing
projects, and add to the Cultural Centre’s renown and outreach.
With a master’s degree in art history, Martin Labrie has several years
of experience in various visual arts settings. He is currently teaching
at the Cégep de Sherbrooke and sits on the program committee of
the Musée d’art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul.

“The Yvonne L. Bombardier
Cultural Centre is a cultural player
where I am proud to make a contribution.
Through my professional experience,
I have observed various art venues and
I immediately appreciated the Centre’s
interest in living up to the expectations
of diverse audiences, with top quality,
accessible artistic offerings, always
showcased through efficient and
professional museology.”

L’art de la satire
Marc André J. Fortier
MAY 26 TO SEPTEMBER 3, 2012
Marc André J. Fortier charmed Foundation staff and the public.
His colourful, fanciful world, filled with characters whose faces
are both human and robotic and with objects that are brought
to life, injected a joyful, childlike atmosphere into the
Cultural Centre. Behind the apparent levity of his immense
festive canvases and giant-sized bronzes lie irony and sarcasm.
The artist depicts the values of society, expressing through
paint a strong social critique and exposing globalisation and
overconsumption, the pre-established order, and superficiality.

Jean Côté
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 TO APRIL 21, 2013
Self-taught painter and sculptor Jean Côté celebrated 40 years
in the profession at the same time the Yvonne L. Bombardier
Cultural Centre was highlighting its 40th anniversary.
This was the perfect occasion to host a contemporary style
artist whose work reflects a current trend—recycling.
Into his works, he incorporates odds and ends, disconnected
from their original functions, abandoned, or destined for the
garbage, and gives them a second life. Jean Côté is inspired
by themes related to time and passage, like the encounters
that mark his artistic process.

Aiming to offer the best service to subscribers and to expand the reach
of its work to more people, the library revised its hours, adapting to the
local population’s needs and availabilities. Access to the library during
noon hours and evenings was thus given priority. In addition, library
service is offered without a break throughout the summer.
The library’s team also worked to increase the number of documents
accessible to users through services like inter-library loans, which was
made easier particularly by the addition of new document management
software. This helped increase the circulation of our documents beyond
the seven municipalities that we serve. The considerable growth of the
access-to-books (Accès-livres) program and the partnership with the
daycare centre Crayons de couleurs have demonstrated the importance of
going beyond our walls to reach our clientele wherever they are located.

Literary Pleasures
With such a broad public as the library’s subscribers and visitors,
it is vital to be able to rely on a team with multiple talents, capable
of switching from recommending reading to people of all ages
to providing advice to Internet users, from restoring documents
to leading theme-based activities.
Growing in popularity, the monthly pyjama story-telling hour
(Heure du conte) attracts lots of children and their parents, keen to
listen to adventures and be immersed into a fun-filled literary world.
For older children, the activity Jeunes curieux is a way to keep preteens
interested in reading. Competing with new technologies constantly
requires newly devised activities, such as unusual arts and crafts,
introduction to drama and improv workshops, surprise evenings...
and more.
The Library’s lectures for adults have been more systematically linked
with the Cultural Centre’s exhibitions. Precedence has also been
given to topics of current interest and the showcasing of partners
to develop relationships with the community. For example, a lecture
by a burn victim was presented in partnership with the Valcourt
fire department during fire prevention week. And Michel Faubert
was invited in the context of the 25th anniversary of the festival
Les jours sont contés en Estrie.
A new partnership has also been developed with an Eastern Townships
organization supported by the Foundation, the Petit théâtre de
Sherbrooke, whose mission is to create and present theatre shows for
children and youth. Artists from the Petit théâtre travelled to Valcourt
for two performances of the play Une lettre pour moi. The activity
introduced young children to a new art form.

Revised and Improved
Procedures
The Board of Governors that
administers the J. Armand Bombardier
Foundation is composed of
11 members. Janine Bombardier,
the eldest daughter of the
famous inventor, is the chair.
The Board of Governors strategically
guides the Foundation, relying
on four committees to ensure
the smooth working of operations:
• Executive Committee
• Donations Committee
• Investment Committee
• Compensation Committee
A concern for efficiency and an effort to optimize
meeting time have resulted in a reduction in the
number of meetings of each committee annually.
This decision has had a direct impact on the timeline
for submitting donation files. In fact, limiting the
number of Donations Committee meetings to four
required reorganizing active file follow-up to
maintain high quality in analyzing requests.
Based on a recommendation from the Executive
Committee, a fourth committee was established:
the Compensation Committee, with the mandate
to guide and oversee the Foundation’s guidelines
and practices pertaining to compensation and
benefits. It is essential that the Foundation have in
place a compensation structure that is competitive
with respect to rival organizations and reference
groups, in such a way as to attract, motivate,
and retain competent staff at every level.

Seeking a
Rejuvenated Museum
Subsequent to the adoption of the new mission
and positioning strategy in spring 2012, the
governors decided to focus on rejuvenating the
J. Armand Bombardier Museum. To do so, they
took part in an exercise to define a genetic code,
which is a reference document projecting us into
the future and describing in detail a set of strategic
elements that define the Museum and distinguish
it from other institutions in the museum network
in Québec and Canada. A genetic code is an essential
tool to make the Museum known among various
audiences and players with whom it has connections.
Defining the Museum’s brand was the next logical
step. The governors, assisted by a professional firm,
identified the Museum’s personality traits, around
which communications, content, and museographical
choices would be focused, with a view to crystallizing
a vision and colouring it with emotions.
Thanks to the
Departing Governor
Two New Governors
Following recruitment in August 2012,
two new members joined the Board:
Grabriel Bran Lopez, founder and Executive
Director of Youth Fusion and co-founder of
Robotique FIRST Québec. Mr. Lopez is a member of
the Groupe d’action sur la persévérance et la réussite
scolaires (group dedicated to student retention).
Recently named Ashoka Fellow, he also received
the Emerging Leader Award in 2010. Mr. Lopez
brings to the Foundation his keen knowledge
of the community, leadership, and familiarity
with new communications tools.
Luc Bachand, Vice-Chair and Head of
BMO, Capital Markets Québec. Mr. Bachand
currently sits on the board of directors of the
CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation and the Mental Illness
Foundation. An experienced manager with nearly
30 years in the world of finance, Mr. Bachand was
expressly approached for his knowledge and
expertise to advise and guide the Foundation in
making strategic decisions to manage its portfolio.
The Board of Governors and management thank
John Paul Macdonald, whose mandate ends in
August 2013, for his involvement in the Foundation
over the past eight years. His wise advice and
expertise in communications and human resources
have been definite assets in the Foundation’s growth.

The Foundation is able to offer its many
programs and activities because it can count
on an exceptional support team. Energetic
and creative, our employees aim for the
highest quality standards in each of their
tasks. What sets them apart is the broad
range of their expertise. What they share is
a desire to always be up-to-date on
developments in their field and a great
appreciation of their work environment.
Communications Intensified
As the result of an employee mobilization survey, the
management team has paid particular attention to internal
communications, with the goal of enhancing the synergy
among the different departments. Efforts focused on
disseminating information via electronic tools; team meetings;
brainstorming, planning, and feedback sessions; as well as
more informal interactions, all involving lots of discussions
in which employees actively participated. The results of a
similar survey done one year later are remarkable:
What do employees most appreciate at the Foundation?
The cooperation and support they receive in their daily tasks
and the learning opportunities provided to them.
Expertise and Training:
A Winning Tandem
The vast range of skills within the Foundation is
reflected in the atypical training sessions offered:
financial statements, specialized software, reserves
planning, management, etc. To tie everything
together, a workshop led by the Institut du
Nouveau Monde and aiming to strengthen the
creative potential of each employee was offered
to all. The brainstorming techniques proposed
in that session can certainly be used again
to generate innovative and compelling ideas
for upcoming projects.
After a workplace health and safety mutual
insurance plan was joined, training was strongly
encouraged on the use of specialized equipment,
handling hazardous materials, as well as first aid.
5S Projects
Wanting to provide its employees with optimal work
environments, the Foundation supported two 5S sites.
Inspired by a Japanese approach, this technique
optimizes processes for continued improvement.
The site where the physical reorganization of a space
occurs is the starting point. 5S is not just a one-time
project, but a philosophy, a long-term investment
that encourages a state of mind and a way of being,
and enables bad habits to be eradicated for the sake
of efficiency and well-being at work. This year, two
teams devoted one week to sort, set in order, and
restructure workstations and storage spaces—with
spectacular results.
Lastly, the third edition of our Employees’ Learning
Day introduced Valcourt employees to different
facets of two museums. During their activity on the
theme of homelessness, Montréal employees visited
three organizations working on the ground. Inspiring
and instructive, educational outings enable
employees to be revitalized, have discussions, and
create links with those involved in different milieus.

Social Action Day at Moisson Estrie
Social Action Day
The 6 edition of Social Action Day for Foundation employees
took place at Moisson Estrie last October. It was a real marathon,
during which four teams took part in multiple activities:
cooking, landscaping, painting, decorating, and transforming
a room into a “grocery store.”
th
“A social action day like this not only enables the completion
of projects that had been put aside due to lack of resources,
but it also creates great synergy among the work team […].
We, from our perspective, have the pleasant impression of being
spoiled,” Geneviève Côté, Executive Director of Moisson Estrie.
Everyone Behind Robotics!
Seduced by the Robotique FIRST Québec project,
our employees organized multiple social activities
and raised an impressive $8500 to support the participation
of local high schools in the competition!
Traces of Volunteerism
The Employee Volunteer Engagement Recognition Program
highlights the efforts of employees who are involved in
community organizations as volunteers. The amount granted
to an organization on the volunteer’s behalf can reach as much
as $1,000 for a commitment of at least 40 hours annually.
