A major endeavour, propelled by hope
Financial support to four non-profit organisations
In all workplaces and among retirees, an annual collection takes place for the benefit of organisations sponsored by the STM. Everyone is asked, via a major generosity campaign, to donate the amount of their choice to these organisations.
The four are:
Centraide, HealthPartners-Québec, Red Cross, Réchaud-Bus.
In 2023, the employees’ generosity campaign made it possible to donate $ 665 250 to these four organisations.
As a public organisation, the STM does not make any donations, whether in money or transportation tickets, and does not participate in any fundraising activities.
