This exciting economic momentum, combined with government measures, is leading to a reduction in poverty. This is a wonderful development and a realization of the vision expressed during Montréal’s 375th anniversary celebrations. However, not everyone is benefitting from this momentum equally. Poverty may be declining, but we’re still on thin ice. In terms of personal income, Greater Montréal is still lagging far behind its Canadian counterparts. Affordable housing is being converted into condos while yesterday’s working class neighbourhoods are becoming gentrified and beyond the reach of low-income earners. Families are being pushed out to areas that are farther from both schools and amenities. Food insecurity in Montréal remains among the highest in the nation: more than one in ten children, workers and seniors don’t have enough to eat. ERADICATING INEQUALITIES BY PRIORITIZING THE ZERO HUNGER AND NO POVERTY GOALS The Foundation of Greater Montréal (FGM) is now aligning all its actions with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a worldwide movement to transform our world. More specifically, in response to the serious issues of hunger and poverty highlighted in our 2017 Vital Signs of Greater Montréal report, we’re taking action. We have mobilized community, philanthropic, public and private actors around Zero Hunger (SDG 2), identified levers and gaps, compiled existing knowledge on the topic and documented the food ecosystem to assess the current situation. Our goal is to ensure a deeper understanding of the issues that will allow coordinated and targeted investments to reduce food insecurity. As part of the No Poverty (SDG 1) goal, we are actively participating in the Collective Impact Project (CIP) with eight other foundations and government bodies to support impactful community- based projects and their champions, in a concerted effort to alleviate poverty. But that’s not all: the grants from our funds meet multiple goals including Quality Education (SDG 4), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11) and Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3). Last but not least, we are part of the Canadian and global coalition that is working towards major transformations by 2030. THE FOUNDATION OF GREATER MONTRÉAL IS GROWING In 2018, 111 new philanthropic funds and foundations were established at FGM, while total donations and contributions surpassed $40 million. New contributions reached $145 million over the last three years. The Foundation of Greater Montréal would like to democratize philanthropy, in other words, make it easier for individuals to set up a fund to support their chosen causes, for example by offering online and mobile tools. This service is what makes FGM unique and is the reason why community organizations and philanthropists seek to partner with us. Thank you for doing your part to make sure everyone shares in Greater Montréal’s prosperity. HON.

  • The Heart Le Coeur
    Issue 27 – Fall 2006 The Heart Le Coeur Newsletter of the McGill & Communiqué de la communauté de School of Nursing Community l’École des sciences infirmières de McGill “Please Call Me Frank”: An Interview With Franco Carnevale ULRIKA DREVNIOK ntil recently, Franco Carnevale was the critical care coordinator of the Montreal Children’s Hospital for the PICU, NICU and ER, as well as the Chair of the Pediatric Ethics Commit- Utee. As of October 16th, his growing academic portfolio has expanded to include the title of Assistant Director of the Master’s Program at the School of Nursing. He maintains professorial duties, supervision of graduate students, and conduction of research at the SON, and is also active in the Biomedical Ethics Unit and the Counselling Psychology Department, both at McGill. Dr. Car- nevale will also maintain his pediatric ethics and critical care advanced practice nursing responsibili- ties at the Children’s. Dr. Carnevale does not understand the term “male nurse”. He calls it a “bizarre label”, and after interviewing him I have to agree that the “male” qualifier isn’t really necessary. Dr. Carnevale holds an undergraduate degree in nursing, Master’s degrees in nursing, education, bioethics, philosophy, a doctorate in psychology, and a doctorate-in-progress in philosophy. While he says he does struggle with the phenomena within nursing of faster ascension within the ranks for males, there can be no question of his qualifications for the various hats he wears within the MUHC. By the way, don’t ask him how much he works. For all the hours he’s put in, his father estimates that he’s been making less than minimum wage over the course of his education and career.
