Centraide March of 1,000 Umbrellas
Official Kick-Off of Centraide Campaign Co-Chaired by Rémi Marcoux

It was Transcontinental’s Rémi Marcoux and BCE’s Michael J. Sabia, along with Michèle Thibodeau-DeGuire from Centraide, who opened the march of 10,000 participants at the kick-off to the annual Centraide of Greater Montreal fundraising campaign. Rémi Marcoux is asking everyone to be generous: “This collective effort to fight poverty will have an impact that benefits the whole community. Remember, every donation is important!” The fundraising target of $50.5 million was announced at the launch.
