Charity

I had a little reflection just before Christmas. It stemmed from the segment I had on BTMontreal about meaningful gifts for the holidays (with 5k views and counting, it seems to be something people were very interested in!). Now that our gifts have been opened, and we have eaten our…

This morning, I had the pleasure of sitting down on the Breakfast Television couch with Derick Fage to chat about feel-good gift giving. I’m all for gift giving and making my kids feel extra special on Christmas morning, but I can admit, and so can they, that we have way…

I attended a Shoebox Project event, hosted by REV Commnicatons PR and Jessica Mulroney, co-founder of the project. It was a festive night filled with influencers from all areas of Montreal. We all came together to create boxes packed with essentials for women in shelters.   It is an initiative that started with Jessica and her family 6…

In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, TELUS has begun an incredible campaign to encourage people to volunteer. As always, TELUS has its Days of Giving campaign, but this year it’s been amplified with the hashtag, #MillionHours. TELUS team members are embarking on this ambitious goal of donating one million hours…

It was a delight to meet Laura Casella in person and chat about Shopping From The Heart 2017 with her on Global Montreal. For a detailed explanation of the event, here is the segment. Thank you very much to Laura and Global Montreal for having me on and for spreading…
