New lifeblood for neighbourhood roundtables

Neighbourhood roundtables are spaces for collective action that bring together different local stakeholders
from the same territory, such as community agencies, citizens, and public institutions (i.e. boroughs, schools,
and the CISSS or CIUSSS), to work together to develop and improve living conditions in their neighbourhoods.
Centraide supports nearly 40 neighbourhood roundtables in Montreal, in Laval and on the South Shore.
The Montreal roundtables in particular receive financial support from the Initiative montréalaise de soutien
au développement social local (IMSDSL), which is a partnership between Centraide of Greater Montreal,
the Direction régionale de santé publique de Montréal, the Ville de Montréal, and the Coalition montréalaise
des Tables de quartier.

This year, Centraide increased its funding to the IMSDSL
by 47% to reinforce the central role of the Montreal roundtables
in local collective action.

Laval Fund

This fund was created under an agreement between the Ville de Laval,
the Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de Laval, and
Centraide of Greater Montreal. With support for initiatives in Laval’s
devitalized and disadvantaged areas for 2023-2027, this fund aims
to improve the living conditions of local communities by supporting
projects that meet specific neighbourhood needs.
