Montréal à Coeur / Montreal Community Cares

When we think about individuals who use their ability to bring strangers, professionals and community folks together to share resources and benefit the wider collective, Dave McKenzie certainly comes to mind. His hard work and ability to foster long-lasting relationships showcases what a caring professional he is. Dave, you are a blessing to Concordia University and to the Montreal Community Cares Foundation. You continue to create opportunities for growth for students and organizations alike. You are a true unsung hero who goes above and beyond the call of duty to move our community forward. Thank you for being a bridge builder! #strongertogether #bethespark

Being an athlete is not always easy, but being a pro athlete brings so much more pressure as the lights and cameras are always on you. Being responsible and being a good role model is a choice and for this, Montreal Community Cares would like to thank both Lizanne Murphy and Joel Anthony for being great examples of what a pro-athlete should be. You have given back to your community for years without expecting any recognition, but today you are being recognized for being an inspiration and a mentor for the upcoming generation of male and female ballers. #strongertogether #respecttheq #youthempowerment #givingback

You are a bridge builder in every sense of the word.
