Who We Are

Vision, Mission and Values

The Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation encourages physical activity and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle among underprivileged youth. Since its creation in 2000, it has invested over $45 million in its programs as well as through donations to more than 900 charitable endeavors working for the well-being of the most vulnerable children throughout Quebec.

The Foundation fulfills its mandate in two ways: first, through a unique flagship project – the BLEU BLANC BOUGE program – which consists of building and activating community refrigerated and multisport rinks; secondly by providing financial support to organizations whose projects and programs enable children to adopt healthy lifestyles by being more active.

Our Vision

Provide a better and healthier future for underprivileged children all across Quebec.

Our Mission

By uniting the members of the great Canadiens family and by teaming up with the community, the Foundation encourages physical activity and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle among underprivileged youth from 4 to 17 years old.

Our Values

Accessibility: We want to provide children in need with the same benefits as others of their age: give them the opportunity to experience the benefits of a healthy life, participate in sports and leisure activities. We want them to live unique moments and experiences that are otherwise impossible to have. Our actions are intended to ensure that their journey to a better and healthier life is free of hurdles.

Generosity: Our actions are driven by the desire to contribute significantly to the most deprived youths. Fortunate to be part of the Canadiens family, we are grateful and wish to give back to the community that supports us with loyalty and passion. With a genuine caring for the youth, we make sure our donations have a profound impact on their lifestyle.
