Laval Police Chief Pierre Brochet joins charity\u2019s board of directors<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Helping to relieve poverty on \u00cele J\u00e9sus, where indigence increasingly has a non-francophone face, has been a growing priority for the region\u2019s largest charity, Centraide (www.centraide-mtl.org<\/a>). <\/p>\n

\u201cWe started to notice in 2006 that there was rapid growth in the immigrant population in Laval,\u201d the charity\u2019s assistant director for allocation and social analysis Lyne Harris told The Suburban.<\/i> \u201cA lot of families came from a different cultural background. It was one in five residents then. Today, it\u2019s one in four.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cOne in every two infants born there is to an immigrant mother,\u201d she said in an interview. \u201cThat has changed the picture in Laval dramatically and has challenged anti-poverty organizations to adapt and improve their capacity to reach out and help in the best way that they can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Age distribution also skewed the demographics of Quebec\u2019s third-largest city, she added. <\/p>\n

\u201cYouth and families were overrepresented,\u201d Harris observed. \u201cAt the other extreme, there were lots of seniors. We decided that we had to find a way to work with other agencies to help families at risk and those from different backgrounds.\u201d <\/p>\n

Today, she said, Centraide reaches out a helping hand to 13 percent of Laval\u2019s population. It invests more than $2.6 million through 28 agencies. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe touch one in eight Laval residents,\u201d Harris smiled. \u201cWe try to focus on areas such as Chomedey, Laval des Rapides and Pont Viau, where the level of poverty is much higher.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, we support Diapason Jeunesse, whose main goal is to help youth with academic challenges to remain in school,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnother is Dauphin House, which focuses on helping youth from birth to age five. It provides integration workshops and helps parents to develop better relationships with their children.\u201d <\/p>\n

As part of its goal to involve decision makers with a wide variety of backgrounds in developing Centraide\u2019s strategy, the charity named Laval Police Chief Pierre Brochet to its board of directors, June 16. <\/p>\n

\u201cEach year we have to decide where to invest and develop capacity in the community,\u201d Harris said. <\/p>\n

Centraide\u2019s big fundraising push for the coming year will commence Oct. 2.
