Additional Information About Foundations

The Montréal Sacré-Coeur Hospital Foundation

The Montréal Sacré-Coeur Hospital Foundation was created in 1976 by the Soeurs de la Providence thanks to a major bequest from a generous donor. The Foundation's mission is to raise money to help fund the Hospital's priority projects, such as the purchase of sophisticated medial equipment, support for research and teaching, and improvements to the quality of care provided at the Hospital.

 The Foundation is currently in the midst of a major fundraising drive that runs until 2009. The target is $35 million, to be used for a new coronary unit, a new child psychiatry building, refurbishing of the mother-child care unit, and other purposes.

The Hospital mainly serves the north-western part of the Montréal metropolitan area—home to nearly 75% of its in-patients.

The Sir Mortimer B. Davis - Jewish General Hospital Foundation (JGHF)

Founded in 1969, the Sir Mortimer B. Davis - Jewish General Hospital Foundation's (JGHF) mandate is to raise funds in support of the Sir Mortimer B. Davis - Jewish General Hospital (JGH), a 637-bed McGill University teaching hospital known for excellence in the health care services that it provides and the calibre of its medical and research staff, many of whom have been recognized for their achievements.

Monies raised by the Foundation are used to help support patient care, research and teaching ? the hallmarks of any great university teaching hospital.

The Foundation launched the ? Power to Heal? fundraising campaign to fund a variety of initiatives to bring the very best talent, equipment, facilities and programs to the JGH. The JGH and its Foundation are committed to providing all Quebecers with the ? Power to Heal? .

The Pierre-Boucher Hospital Foundation

Our mission is to raise funds to support the technological development of the Pierre-Boucher Hospital built in 1982 and located in Longueuil. Also, the foundation promotes healthy lifestyle habits in order to reduce the risk of future health problems. Since 1987, we have invested over  $13 million in the acquisition of specialized medical equipment for cardiology, radiology, obstetrics and gynaecology, gastroenterology as well as the emergency medicine, critical care and geriatrics departments.

In order to promote healthy lifestyle habits, the Foundation organizes an annual corporate triathlon. The benefits from this activity are invested in the cardiology department. In many events, the Foundation will conduct screening clinics for cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes.  Finally, we are evaluating the feasibility of a health and prevention centre that will promote the benefits of physical activities and healthy nutrition and lifestyle.

The Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal Foundation (CHUM)

The mission of the CHUM Foundation is to support the technological development and outreach of one of the largest academic hospital centres in North America. In its first eight years of operation, the Foundation collected $52 million through fundraising events and campaigns. This money was used to acquire the latest equipment in such fields as cardiology, gastroenterology and medical imaging.

The CHUM has also undertaken numerous research projects thanks to the generosity of our donors, who believe that the CHUM plays a vital role in the Montreal community and in Quebec as a whole. To encourage excellence, the CHUM Foundation gives out annual awards in recognition of the exceptional contribution made by CHUM physicians, nurses, employees and volunteers.

The McGill University Health Centre Foundation (MUHC)

The McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) is currently engaged in a landmark redevelopment project that will ensure that it remains a world leader in patient care, teaching and research for generations to come. In support of this ambitious construction and renovation project, the MUHC Foundation has undertaken the $300 million ? Best Care for Life? capital campaign, of which more than $140 million has already been secured.

By funding critical transitional projects on the current sites and by supporting the construction and modernization of the Glen and Mountain campuses, the MUHC Foundation is ensuring that, now and in the future, the MUHC can continue to provide its patients with the best care for life.

The 7th Heaven
Visitors to the 2007 Montreal International Auto Show (MIAS) will get a glimpse of heaven when they visit the 7^th floor of the Palais des congrès de Montréal between January 19 and 28. More precisely, they'll see 7^th Heaven—a blissful exhibit of some of the world's most heavenly vehicles, and a collection worth more than $5 million!

A Quebec star is born
Making its Canadian début among the splendid collection of 7^th Heaven vehicles is the stunning 2007 Pléthore, made by HTT Locus Technologies of Quebec. The Pléthore prototype will be officially unveiled on Level 7. Created by Luc Chartrand, the Pléthore is Canada's first "supercar". It can seat up to three people (even if you're a 6-foot-6 tall), which is unique for this type of vehicle. Another interesting feature is that the driver's seat is situated in the centre of the car, which provides perfect peripheral vision. The Pléthore is valued at $330,000.

Michel Barrette's 7^th Heaven
Popular Quebec humorist Michel Barrette was a big hit during the 2005 Auto Show, and he will be back this year to present a new part of his personal collection of cars and famous automobile artifacts. Indeed, this will be Mr. Barrette's sequel, a presentation of Gold Series Pre-Owned, where a portion of his splendid collection will be on display with other exotic vehicles on Level 7. Here is what Mr. Barrette will have on display:

A 1955 Porsche Spyder. This is a replica of the Spyder once owned by American actor James Dean—the same car Dean crashed in, in California in 1955.

A 1987 Buick Grand National. This car is now even speedier than its original, courtesy of a 450-horsepower engine.

A 1970 Dodge Challenger RT, a replica of the car featured in the 1971 cult film, Vanishing Point.
