MESSAGE
from the Chair and the
Chief Executive Officer
The year 2014-2015 marks the final year of our 2011-2015
strategic plan, organized under three main themes:
transformation, integration, and influence. These three
fundamental pillars served as the basis for positioning
the YWCA Montreal as a key reference with respect to
the personal, occupational, and social development of
women and girls.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The YWCA Montreal salutes the dedication and expertise of the members of the Board of Directors who provided valuable guidance and support for the achievement
of its mission. The Management Team, YWCA Montreal
staff, and the Foundation demonstrated unparalleled
energy, excellence, and cooperation. Thanks go to our
Foundation for their partnership and financial support.
The confidence and contributions of our funders, including Centraide, Emploi-Québec, and the Agence de la
santé et des services sociaux du Québec continue to be
crucial, as is the immense generosity of over 480 donors,
and the contribution of over 440 volunteers who share
their time and expertise with us.
The YWCA Montreal has continued to act with courage
and determination over the years thanks to the conviction and energy of all the women who, over the 140 years
of our existence, believed, and continue to believe, that
together we can keep the mission of the YWCA alive.

TRANSFORMATION
Because we are always attentive to the needs of the
community just outside our doors, we set up a drop-in
daycare and family caregiver support service. A community worker is active in the neighbourhood immediately
surrounding the YWCA to reduce the isolation of families, and we provide innovative approaches for relaxation
and replenishment such as art and music therapy.
We conducted an in-depth review of our self-financing
activities, which led to the repositioning of our hotel and
hostel, resulting in increased bookings. Our workforce
integration enterprise, the Fringues Boutique, was also
so
the subject of an in-depth review and transformation to
better meet our customers’ needs.

INTEGRATION
In 2013-2014, we identified several priority issues and
determined our areas of action. This year, we paid particular attention to the analysis of results. This process involves measuring the impact, relevance, consistency, and
decompartmentalization of our services and programs.
The Femmes en action project, launched in the autumn
of 2014, is an example of decompartmentalization, with
its use of resources and expertise from different departments within one cross-cutting program.

DEFENDING WOMEN’S INTERESTS
We devoted particular attention to several awarenessraising and mobilizing actions this year. On the national
level, we contributed to the drafting of YWCA Canada’s
"Prostitution, Sex Work and Women’s Safety Policy." We
also attended the big march organized by the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission. On the regional level, violence against women has continued to be a central focus
of our awareness-raising activities, as evidenced by our
participation in the commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of the Polytechnique Massacre, our support for
the Coalition for Gun Control, and our association with
YWCA Canada’s new #PasCorrect #NotOkay campaign
to protest violence against women.

INFLUENCE
In 2014-2015, the celebration of our 140th anniversary
was an opportunity to organize many special events, including an official ceremony at Montreal City Hall, as well
as a great chance to raise our visibility. It also provided
us with opportunities to increase public awareness of the
nature and relevance of our work, and demonstrate how
the YWCA Montreal has succeeded in adapting itself to
change over many decades. During all of these years, our
vigilance, openness, and audacity have constantly aided
us in accompanying 300,000 women through the process of building a better future.
GOVERNANCE
We took advantage of the arrival
of a new chair of the
Board of Directors and
five new board members
to initiate reflection on our
changing socio-economic environment. The relevance of the
YWCA Montreal is a central concern
of the Board of Directors. Its members,
together with the Management Team, are
contributing to this reflection by their presence on several committees. Each member
sits on one of the Board’s four committees: governance; finances, auditing and risk management;
strategic development; and influence. This reflection
will serve as the basis for the new strategic plan, which
will get underway in 2016.

MESSAGE
We are proud
to present the
Women’s Y Foundation’s report for
2014-2015.
MS Media; and Sandra Tittlit, Managing Director, Institutional Equities Trading, BMO Capital Markets, expressed
their commitment to support the mission of the YWCA
Montreal and contribute to the social and economic
integration of women and girls in the Greater Montreal
region.

Our 20 years of existence
testify to our close partnership
with the YWCA Montreal to realize our shared goal of helping to
build a better future for women and
girls living in the Greater Montreal area.
We provide financial support to maintain and develop programs designed by the
YWCA Montreal in response to their needs.
To do so, the Foundation relies on the commitment
of numerous donors, partners and volunteers who join
forces to bring about positive, lasting change in the lives
of all those who use the YWCA’s services. We thank each
of them for their exceptional contributions. Your support
makes a real difference to women’s lives.
Be positive and we will find the resources to achieve our
goals. This is the leitmotif of every member of the Foundation’s board. Committed and enthusiastic, they all invest time and money for the cause they hold so dear. Our
continued work, the collective efforts of our members,
and the constant quest for improvement have helped the
Foundation to grow.
The Board of Directors adopted strong rules of governance to guide its organizational development. Examples
of this are the revision of the Foundation bylaws, improvement of its evaluation process, and the composition
and mandates of its subcommittees.
Four Board members have left us this year: Daniel Bellemare, Valérie Dufour, Annie Vallières and Ida Teoli. We
sincerely thank them for their contribution to our organization’s development and healthy governance. Three
new recruits have joined the Board: Karine Chênevert,
Partner at Borden Ladner Gervais, Sophie Fortin, Human
Resources Consultant, and Lisa Giannone, Vice-President at BFL Canada.
And we must not forget the Foundation team, for their
unceasing availability, cooperation, and professionalism.
2015-2016 will be a year filled with new challenges. We
will continue to do everything we can for the well-being
of women and girls who remain at the forefront of our
concerns and actions.
Given the Foundation’s needs and its commitments to
the YWCA, the financing of our fundraising activities is
a constant concern. In the short term, the support of numerous companies, foundations, and individuals enabled
us to surpass the financial objectives of the Women
of Distinction Awards gala and the Scotiabank Charity
Challenge, the net earnings of which were unequalled in
our history.
l New paths for women since 1875
Special thanks go to Barry F. Lorenzetti and his finance
committee for their exceptional contribution to the 2014
Women of Distinction Awards gala.

Since November 2011, the Management Team, supported by the Board
of Directors, has focussed its attention on reorganizing and transforming our culture, administration, and structures, and conducting an
in-depth review of the services we offer.
This essential and long-term effort has enabled this great organization—the
YWCA Montreal—to implement its vision: to be a learning organization that is
effective, mobilizing, and continuously interacting with emerging social needs.
The objectives and actions proposed for 2014-2015 have a very specific aim: to make
the YWCA Montreal a key reference with regard to the personal, professional, and social
development of women and girls in Montreal.

For our residents, (re)building a stable life in independent
housing is a process comprising a multitude of actions, all of
them essential steps along the path to social reintegration.
Living in a safe environment and participating in a vast array of
workshops, conferences, personal development and physical
activities, as well as weekly counselling sessions with a team
of multidisciplinary professionals, allows residents to regain
control of their lives at their own pace, work toward a stable
life in independent housing, and break free from the cycle of
homelessness, exclusion and violence.

This year, 87 women took advantage of the YWCA Housing
Services, and 53 of them stayed at the Residence.
HOMELESSNESS
It is difficult to gauge the scale of
women’s homelessness because women
are less visible: they stay with friends,
family, in temporary housing facilities, etc. The
hidden nature of female homelessness prevents
us from grasping the scope of a steadily growing
phenomenon. In Montréal, there was a 49% increase in
the number of nights women spent in emergency shelters in the winter of 2011-2012, compared to the winter of
2008-2009.1 Women represent between 22.8 and 40% of
homeless people in Montreal.2 Canada-wide statistics show
that 73% to 81% of these women are or have been victims of
psychological abuse, sexual abuse or domestic violence. 3 a,b
VIOLENCE
Over 80% of sexual and domestic violence victims are
women.4 In one year, over 11,500 incidents of sexual
and domestic violence against women were
reported in Montreal.5 Women in Montreal
suffer a higher rate of sexual violence than
anywhere else in Quebec.6
THE RESIDENCE
As part of our social reintegration program, we
offer housing in a 34-room residence, with
weekly psychosocial counselling.
Occupancy: 94 %.

Hou
sing
This year, the residents of the YWCA and tenants in our community housing
units were women between 21 and 68 years old. The vast majority lacked
stable housing before their arrival. Among them, 73.5% exhibited mental
health problems, and 26% were escaping from domestic or family violence.
Nearly 30% of our residents and tenants were from diverse ethnocultural
communities and most were living below the poverty line.
We are seeing a renewed increase in requests for services from women suffering from eating disorders. Lastly, we have noted that the government’s austerity
measures have had a direct impact on the physical and mental health of residents
and tenants.

RESULTS
LASTING STABILITY AND INDEPENDENCE
A drop in the number of departures indicates to us that the program is allowing
residents to acquire greater stability. They are taking the time they need to find
their own housing solutions. Among the 21 women who left, 17 found housing, two
of them in our community housing projects. Only four women returned to the emergency housing option.
Over 80% of the tenants of the Jardins du Y des femmes have lived there for over 4
years, and 71% of the tenants of Brin d’Elles (Saint-Laurent site) have lived there for more
than 9 years.
INCREASED WELL-BEING
Among residents with addiction or mental health issues, there has been a significant drop
in hospitalizations and relapses.

THE BIRTH OF THE WORKING OUR WAY
(WOW) PROJECT
FINANCIAL INSECURITY
45% of women in Montreal who have an
income, earn less than $20,000 a year.1 The five
most common occupations for women, both in Montreal and the rest of Quebec, are administrative assistant,
retail salesperson, cashier, child care educator, and nurse.2
13 women aged 18 to 30 completed this new 10-week
employability program that takes advantage of the
resources and expertise of the YWCA’s four areas
of action.
MOTHERS WORK INTEGRATION
PROGRAM
48 mothers took part in this employment
preparation program. The program is offered in English and French, includes 19
weeks of training and workshops, and
culminates in a job internship.
EMPLOYMENT INEQUALITY
The job situation in Montreal is worse than that of Quebec as a whole.
In 2011, the employment rate for women stood at 53.2% compared to
61.3% for men, while for immigrant women, the rate is 46.2% (53.2%).
FRINGUES & CIE
INCOME INEQUALITY
23 young women took part in this sixmonth accredited, paid training program
in our boutique, which serves as a platform to help women integrate into the
sales and customer service industry.
In 2011, the employment income of women working full time was
equivalent to 75.3% of that of men, compared to 79.4% in 2000.3
For immigrant women, the figure is 66%.4
AUSTERITY
Since 2008, austerity and renewal measures have translated
into cutbacks totalling $23 billion, with women suffering
$3.1 billion more in cutbacks than men. Even when
it comes to the renewal measures instituted following
the 2008 financial crisis, men receive twice the
benefits than do women ($7.2 billion
compared to $3.5 billion).5
ORIENTATION AND SERVICES
FOR EMPLOYMENT (OSE)
223 women had individual consultations with
certified guidance counsellors—all members in
good standing of their professional association.

SUCCESSFUL JOB INTEGRATION
In 2014-2015, 73% of participants in our three employability programs found work
immediately following completion of the program—8% more than last year. Moreover, when we followed up on our Fringues & Cie participants, we found that 75% of
the women were still employed 3 years after completing their training.
YOUTH
Services
The YWCA’s Department of Youth Services develops innovative projects, training sessions and workshops that are
constantly being fine-tuned and adapted to meet the needs
and everyday reality of girls and young women aged 8 to 19.
Our project leaders and coordinators reach out to youth in
their own settings—in schools or community centres—and
work with girls and boys to address the following issues:

Te
The aim of these projects is to foster awareness,
knowledge and skill development to prevent violence,
exclusion, and social and gender inequalities.
VIOLENCE AND INTIMATE
RELATIONSHIPS
Around 30% of high school students in Montreal
said they had been victims of violence in their
romantic relationships in the last 12 months. There are
proportionately more female than male victims of violence.1
CYBERBULLYING
Among youth in grades 4 to 11, 31% to 37% reported having been
threatened or bullied online. Cyberbullying affects girls
more than boys.2
BODY IMAGE AND MENTAL HEALTH
Studies show that 92% of young women aged 15 to 17 have a
negative body image.3 Eating disorders are the third most
prevalent chronic illness among teenage girls in Quebec.4
SELF-ESTEEM
Only 15% of high school girls have
high self-esteem.6

This year, participants in our various projects, workshops and training
programs were aged 8 to 19. Nearly 35% of our participants were boys
because we are firmly convinced that gender equality will be achieved only
through the education of boys.
Through our initiatives, we hope to reach the most vulnerable young girls in
Montreal; more than 90% of participants attend schools in some of the most
disadvantaged areas.

The YWCA’s Community Services are open to all women and
girls. The goal of these services is to develop community action
and foster personal and collective well-being, while addressing the needs of women in the community. We offer diverse
activities where women can make friends, reduce their isolation, receive counselling, respite, and information on different
topics, learn about their rights, and get help to settle in as a
newcomer to Quebec.

SUPPORTING A FAMILY MEMBER
More than one in three women in Québec (36%) aged 45 to 65 is a family caregiver. Some 30% of caregivers devote 10 hours and more every
week to support these activities, and 63% of caregivers aged 45 to 64
perform these tasks in addition to holding a job. Work-family balance is
a real concern in such situations.2
VOLUNTEERING
Over 2.4 million people aged 15 and over volunteer their time every
year in Québec. People are no longer motivated by religious or
moral reasons only, but rather out of a personal need to form
ties, put their skills and experience to use, and acquire a
social identity. Immigrants emphasize that their volunteer engagement facilitates their social and
occupational integration and improves their
language skills.3

ADVOCATING FOR WOMEN
AND GIRLS BEYOND OUR WALLS
Because the YWCA Montreal is dedicated to reducing exclusion and
social and gender inequalities, as well as all forms of violence against
women and girls, we organized, partnered in, and took part in many awareness and mobilization actions for women’s equality, in addition to our everyday front-line work with women and girls. Violence against women continues
to be the primary focus of our work because it is still, and will continue to be, a
fundamental social issue.

again this year, close to 4%, which reflects the growth in

This year, the Women’s Y Foundation celebrates 20 years
of existence. Since its inception, it has had a single goal: to
build a better future for women and girls living in the Greater Montreal area. The Foundation contributes financially
to maintaining and developing the programs and services
offered by the YWCA Montreal to meet the needs of women
and girls. To do so, it relies on the commitment of numerous donors, partners and volunteers who join forces
to bring about positive, lasting change in the lives
of all those who use the YWCA’s services.

INSPIRING GENEROSITY
Generosity can change the world.
It works its magic quietly, on one
person at a time; then it gains ground,
spreading effortlessly among families,
friends, communities and cultures until it
touches the entire world. Generosity is love
and compassion at work.
Now more than ever, generosity is essential
at the Women’s Y because our society is
changing rapidly and the needs of women
and girls are in constant flux. We must
continuously adapt our programs and
services to meet the changing
needs of women and girls.
The Foundation’s management and activities are inspired by the Code of Ethical
Principles and Standards of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, as
well as its Donors Bill of Rights. Every
donation is maximized, and every donor
respected, for the benefit of the women
and girls that the YWCA accompanies
toward a better future.
21ST WOMEN OF

 The concept for the Women of Distinction Awards gala
was totally revisited. Musical segments enlivened the
proceedings and Honorary Chair Barry F. Lorenzetti even
sang a song, backed by the group The Beatles Replay.
 A draw for 200 prizes and a called auction replaced the
silent auction. Guests had a chance to win the grand prize,
"Springtime in New York," at a value of $10,000, generously donated by Mr. Lorenzetti. These initiatives garnered
$40,000 as part of the evening’s fundraising activities.
 Seventy volunteers, including numerous YWCA program
participants, helped to make the event, held at the Palais des
Congrès, a success.
 This year, the slogan of our Scotiabank Charity Challenge team
was My dad is the best: he’s running for the YWCA Montreal!
Accompanied by Team Leader Jean-Sébastien Lagarde, Treasurer of the Board of Directors of the Women’s Y Foundation, Samuel
Fournier, Spokesperson and Fullback for the Montreal Alouettes,
and our other two dads, Luc Charlebois, and David Bonneville,
52 runners raised a record $49,400.
 We accomplished the herculean task of organizing the fundraising campaign for the 140th Anniversary of the YWCA Montreal. The
Campaign Team was unveiled during the official 140th Anniversary
Ceremony, held on March 25th at Montreal City Hall.
 We revised the bylaws to foster a healthy governance culture.

The Montreal Y Hotel and Auberge YWCA offer one of the best

between sleeping at the YWCA or somewhere else is the fact that all
the profits generated by the Montreal Y Hotel are reinvested in the

Fringues - Friperie Boutique
DOUBLY RESPONSIBLE CONSUMERISM
The 4,215 customers who bought clothes at Fringues Friperie in 2014-2015 were being doubly responsible—by re-using clothes, and helping young women with little formal education integrate into the
workforce. The $75,000 in sales revenue is reinvested directly into the Fringues employability program.

The year 2014–2015 set a record for bookings at our hostel and hotel. Over 23,000
people, both women and men, stayed in one of our 62 rooms. They contributed to
net earnings of $457,000 — essential income for our mission to collectively build a
better future for women and girls.
Generous individual and corporate donors help us to maintain the quality and diversity of the clothing. This year
we had 8 corporate clothing drives and received 9 large donations of new clothing from well-known brands such as
Editorial, Judith & Charles, Canadelle, Aldo, Dragône, and Le Château among others.
