The Bon Départ Foundation of Quebec
Supporting Vulnerable Individuals
The Bon Départ Foundation of Canadian Tire Quebec is dedicated to the development and well-being of children and adults living in vulnerable situations by offering respite stays and summer camps at its Bon Départ Outdoor Base. The Foundation also supports community organizations to improve the quality of life for children and their families, notably by helping them develop healthy habits and overall well-being.
Impressive Impact Since 1990
Since 1990, the Foundation has donated over 35 million dollars through its charitable programs and the Bon Départ Outdoor Base. With a presence across all of Quebec for 35 years, the Foundation continually works to support charities and provide concrete help to children and families in over 100 communities.
Donation Programs for Organizations
For 35 years, Bon Départ has been supporting charitable organizations throughout Quebec. This ongoing support helps children and families in need, making a meaningful difference in local communities.
Bon Départ Outdoor Base
For 24 years, the Foundation has offered free respite stays and summer camps to vulnerable individuals at the Bon Départ Outdoor Base, located in Wentworth-Nord in the Laurentians. These camps provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for those who need it most.
Commitment from Canadian Tire Stores
The 100 Canadian Tire stores across Quebec play a pivotal role in the Foundation’s generosity movement. The Foundation could not exist without the involvement of store owners and their teams, whose commitment enables the Foundation to fulfill its mission of helping vulnerable children and families throughout Quebec.
