In March, Le Saint-Sulpice Montréal supports the Regroupement of Trisomy 21

Over the past year, the Hôtel Saint-Sulpice has been implementing a sustainable development program. In March, we are supporting Regroupement of Trisomy 21.

The principle is simple: we invite our guests who stay at the hotel for more than one night not to use the housekeeping service. By doing so, our guests are helping to reduce their ecological footprint, and they’re also contributing to our monthly collection, since for every day they refuse, the hotel donates $5 to a charity close to our hearts.

In March, Alice Jean-Tremblay, our Culture & Talents Coordinator, opted for the Regroupement of Trisomy 21.

”I have had a special affection for Down Syndrome group since I was young. When I was in elementary school in Quebec City, my best friend had Down syndrome. All the other kids asked me why I was friends with her. I never saw a difference between her and me. My fondest memories at school are with her. For my 18th birthday party, I collected donations for this organization and when I was asked what cause I would like to support for our green program, I did not hesitate to get involved with the Down Syndrome group. Plus, International Down Syndrome Day is March 21, a few days after my birthday. ” Alice Jean-Tremblay, our Culture & Talents Coordinator,

IN JUNE WE SUPPORT MAISON RÉPIT OASIS WITH OUR GREEN PROGRAM

The green program we’ve been running for almost a year now consists of inviting guests staying at the hotel for more than one night not to use the housekeeping service. Through this simple gesture, our guests help to reduce their ecological footprint, and they also contribute to our monthly collection, since for each day of refusal, the hotel donates $5 to an organization close to our hearts.

For the month of June, Chanel, our sales manager, chose the organization Maison Répit Oasis, and explains the reasons behind her choice.

‘I chose this cause because having a family of 4 children we gravitate in a world where in our surroundings there seems to be more and more diagnosed cases. It’s still very taboo, there’s a lot of pressure to be superhero parents. Living this reality on a daily basis brings its share of additional challenges, and it is essential for parents to be able to count on this service.’

Mission of Maison Répit Oasis

Maison répit oasis offers support and respite to families who are responsible for the development of a person living with an intellectual disability and/or autism spectrum disorder. We accomplish our mission through two services:

Respite
To offer families a time of rest and rejuvenation that is essential to everyone’s harmony and quality of life. In addition, the services we offer promote integration by enabling participants to establish social contacts and live an enriching experience outside their family environment.

L’Envolée
The main objective of the L’Envolée program is to use early stimulation to integrate children aged 0 to 5 who are significantly behind their age in one or more of the following areas: Motor skills (fine and/or global); Cognitive; Socio-emotional development; Communication (language); Activities of daily living (autonomy).

Thank you in advance for your contribution!

This month we are mobilizing for Earth Day Canada and our collection will be dedicated to them.

Each month, one of our employees chooses the organization or the cause that is close to his heart, and which will be the lucky recipient of our monthly collection.

Our green program, which will soon celebrate its 1 year, is an opportunity for our guest to participate in reducing our environmental footprint and to financially support (without paying money) an organization.

This month Charlotte Lemoine, our director of revenue, chose the association Earth Day Canada. Indeed, sensitive for many years to climate change, Charlotte is involved in the sustainable committee of the Hotel and participates in the many actions that the hotel deploys to protect the environment.

She explains the reasons for her choice:

‘The ecology has always been close to my heart. I love to travel and when I started to work in the tourism industry, I realized the importance of sustainable tourism to be able to protect this beautiful planet we love to explore. It was therefore natural that I wrote my master’s thesis on how compatible the luxury hotels and sustainable development can be. I am always very interested in finding new sustainable concrete actions.’

The Earth Day Mission

To help people and organizations reduce their environmental impact.

Earth Day was first celebrated on 22 April 1970, often considered as the birth of the environmental movement. Over the years, Earth Day has become the largest participatory environmental movement on the planet.

Earth Day Canada has developed many awareness and action programs, because Earth Day is not just April 22, but every day!

Discover here the actions, webinars, programs, that each of us can do on our own and which have an impact on our environment. Individually, companies, communities, we are all invited to inform and train ourselves, to better respect the environment.

We thank you in advance for your contribution, because every gesture counts!

The Saint-Sulpice Hotel Montreal is mobilizing for the fight against cancer through its green program

In February, the collection of our green program will be in favor of the Canadian Cancer Society, a way of highlighting World Cancer Day, which takes place on February 4th.

Throughout the month of February, we will invite guests staying at the hotel for more than 2 nights not to request the housekeeping service. For each refusal of service, the hotel pays back $5/day . The amount thus collected allows us to contribute to the actions of a foundation or association that will have been chosen by one of the hotel employees.

This month, Magalie Sparsa, our Director of Sales, chose the Canadian Cancer Society.

‘I chose the Canadian Cancer Society because it’s a cause that particularly touches me. Like most people, I have been close to people who have been victims of cancer in all its forms.

Cancer can unfortunately affect many people depending on their age, sex and condition. The treatments are still very invasive and I think it is essential to support the development of knowledge and treatment against this disease.’

Mission of the Canadian Cancer Society

The Canadian Cancer Society works tirelessly to save and improve lives. Thanks to their donors and volunteers, they’re able to fund groundbreaking cancer research into all types of cancer, offer support services to help people better manage life with cancer, shape healthy public policies to prevent cancer and support those living with the disease, and offer trusted cancer information for all Canadians.

At the Canadian Cancer Society, they are committed to uniting and inspiring Canadians to take control of cancer. That’s why they are always funding high performance research that improves cancer outcomes and addresses the greatest opportunities for progress. It’s why they lead change in the most pressing areas of cancer policy including prevention, access, affordability and support. And it’s why they provide the highest quality cancer information for all Canadians, promote cancer prevention and provide targeted support to help people with cancer, their families and caregivers cope.

Dear guests, contribute doubly to a ‘good deed’ by protecting the environment and supporting the Canadian Cancer Society.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

IN JANUARY, WE COLLECT IN FAVOR OF NATURE QUÉBEC FOR BIODIVERSITY

The collection of the hotel’s green program will be made in favor of Nature Quebec to protect biodiversity.

After having hosted COP 15 in Montreal for more than 15 days with more delegations from all over the world, it is only natural that Amandine Charroin, our events manager, has chosen the preservation of the biodiversity of our territory as the cause of the month of January. This is why the funds raised through our green program will be donated to Nature Québec.

“Last month, the city of Montreal hosted cop15, an international meeting on the theme of biodiversity. I wanted to follow up on this event by supporting the Nature Québec organization and particularly its biodiversity projects. Quebec offers us a rich living environment through its fauna and flora that we must preserve in order to pass it on to future generations. The number that struck me is 34: this is the number of caribou living today south of the Saint Lawrence, whereas there were hundreds of them just a few years ago… I would like us to contribute on our own scale to help these endangered species that are the image of Canada and its great natural spaces.’

The green program implemented since June 2022 consists of inviting guests staying at the hotel for a given month to refuse housekeeping during their stay. For each refusal, the hotel donates $5 to the foundation or organization chosen by one of our employees.

By participating in the green program, our guests contribute both to the preservation of the environment by reducing the use of household products and contribute financially to the cause of an NPO.

Nature Québec missions

Since 1981, Nature Québec (ex-UQCN) has been actively working for the conservation of natural environments and the sustainable use of resources in Québec. Our campaigns and projects affect biodiversity, forests, energy, climate and the urban environment. Supported by experts, the work of our team of professionals gives us recognized credibility in our areas of intervention. From Anticosti to the heart of cities, we act locally to meet global challenges related to climate and the environment.

We thank you in advance for your contribution!

The fundraising through our green program in favor of Humanity & Inclusion actions

December is upon us! It is both a month of the holiday season with preparations for Christmas, but also a month of generosity and sharing with the most vulnerable people.

A long-time volunteer with Humanity & Inclusion, I naturally wanted the collection of our green program set up since June, to be done in favor of this organization.
The choice of the month of December is not trivial either because December 3 is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

How to participate in the collection for Humanity & Inclusion?

Disabled Fund/Nirmala and Khembro earthquake victims lost their legs. They received a prosthesis one month ago and learn how to walk at the National Disabled Fund.

We invite all hotel guests staying in December to opt out of housekeeping service. For each refusal of service, the hotel contributes to the collection up to $5/day of refusal. For our guests, no additional cost, and they contribute both to the collection but also to an environmental action. Of course we refresh the towels as needed!

I support the actions of Humanity & Inclusion because it is an organization that works on the ground (whether in times of war, natural disasters or other context of global crisis) and which provides concrete solutions to vulnerable people whose lives is transformed in the depths of their body overnight. These adults, or these children who lose the use of their arm, their leg, need our help and our financial support. Humanity & Inclusion through its many action and intervention components, allows them to better live with their disability, for example by allowing them to benefit from prostheses, ramps to go to school or infrastructure for promote their mobility and their integration into society. Our donation also makes it possible to finance equipment to disarm anti-personnel mines that are still too numerous in the world…
