June 5 was the opening of the Sun Youth urban vegetable garden at the organization’s warehouse in the Saint-Laurent borough. The mayor of the borough, Mr. Alan DeSousa, as well as Member of Parliament for Saint-Laurent, Mrs. Emmanuella Lambropoulos, were present for the occasion.
As part of the Sun Youth urban agriculture project, the organization’s urban vegetable garden began in 2014 thanks to the financial support of Foresters Financial, which generously offers its assistance for the installation and maintenance of the vegetable garden on the grounds of the Sun Youth warehouse. In addition to providing the necessary materials, including fertilizer and plants, Foresters, for the 8th year in a row, provided support from its members, who joined Sun Youth volunteers in opening and stocking the vegetable garden.
