With so many people in Greater Montreal facing precarious circumstances, Centraide’s 2025 campaign co-chairs, Annick Gu\u00e9rard, <\/strong>President and Chief Executive Officer at Transat, and Charles Emond<\/strong>, President and Chief Executive Officer at La Caisse, are making a heartfelt plea for generosity. They want to convey the message that together, through concrete action, we can change lives and strengthen the social fabric of our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annick Gu\u00e9rard is deeply affected by the acute inequalities that are so visible around us. We don\u2019t have to look far to see people in vulnerable situations. \u201cCentraide is like oxygen,\u201d she says. By offering a helping hand, Centraide gives people a chance to catch their breath. For her, giving means choosing empathy, caring and action over indifference every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCentraide is a pillar the community can rely on,\u201d says Charles Emond. He praises the organization’s targeted approach and tangible impact, which help transform lives every day. At a time of growing anxiety and hardship, he stresses the importance of staying engaged: \u201cIt’s easy to ignore the needs, but getting involved is the only way to make a difference.\u201d Giving to Centraide is about more than just responding to an immediate need\u2014it \u201ccreates possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
