Residents of the village of Tidjelabine, located 45 km east of Algiers, Algeria, now have access to a new source of drinking water. Magnus Poirier made a monetary donation to help them revive a water well that had been neglected in recent years.

Water had become scarce in this small village, where the residents have little financial means. The well has particularly helped extinguish the fires caused by the drought that has hit the region.

The grateful residents of the village will place a plaque in the name of Jacques Poirier, President and CEO of Magnus Poirier.

The Poirier family has great respect for all religious and cultural traditions. Visit our blog to learn more

On May 29, the inauguration and blessing of the statue of St.Joseph took place at the Parish of St.Joseph of the Maronite Church.

The Poirier family gives great respect to the religious and cultural customs of the communities of the Middle East. In this spirit of respect for the different communities, and especially the Lebanese community, this philanthropic gift is offered by the Poirier family foundation.

During the Fondation Santé Urbaine’s “Bal Urbain” event, held at the Cirque Éloize studio on February 22, 2019, the foundation paid tribute to Mr. Jacques Poirier, President and CEO of Magnus Poirier Inc., for his many years of involvement with and contribution to the Fondation santé et mieux-être Jeanne Mance. Here is the tribute that was paid to him.

We have all, at one time or another in our lives, met at least one person who stands out and who knows how to make a difference.

Without hesitation, I can tell you that Jacques Poirier is one of them.

Jacques is certainly a seasoned entrepreneur for the benefit of the family business he runs, but for more than eight years, he has been an exceptional philanthropic entrepreneur for the benefit of the Fondation santé et mieux-être Jeanne Mance.

As President of the foundation, having Jacques at my side was a source of motivation and encouragement, and above all, a great privilege.

I don’t know anyone who can remain indifferent to his ideas, his projects, his unique way of sharing them with you, and of course, the concrete results they produce.

For several years, he has been the creator, ambassador and leader of our Défi Basket. With passion and an infectious commitment, he has always made a success of this event.

Jacques, I’m well aware that you don’t do it for public recognition. I know it’s the cause that moves you, but believe me, it was impossible to remain silent after your time at the foundation.

I’m confident that all the members of the board, the staff, and our volunteers and beneficiaries are with me in giving you this well-deserved wink.

Just recently, I told you that your aura is very present on the board, and you can be sure that it will be for a very long time to come.

Thank you Jacques, thank you Mr. Governor, and see you soon!”

Alain Primeau, Director of the foundation.

Under the honorary presidency of Mr. Gérard Séguin, emeritus member of the Association Hope of Life Children of the World, a pasta bar evening was held in support of the Association on February 13, 2019 at the auditorium of the Résidence Les Cascades in Montréal-Nord.
As attendees enjoyed a tasty pasta meal to the sound of the Coeur à Coeur ensemble, more than $100,000 was raised to help children around the world. The money raised will be used, among other things, to feed children and provide school equipment in institutions administered by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Mary, under the guidance of Sister Pierre-Anne Mandato, in countries such as Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, the United States, France, India, Italy, Mexico and Peru. In Canada, the summer camp L’Étoile du Nord in Saint-Donat, where underprivileged children can stay to experience the fun of nature, will be a particular beneficiary.

The “sponsor a child at the camp” initiative is in full swing.
