West Island Community Shares

Our Mission

To be the community development and fundraising organization on which West Island community groups can count on for growth, solidarity and resources, so that all West Islanders can gain access to vital program and services, when needed.

100% Goes Back to Our Community. Because our Corporate Partners cover our administration costs, 100% of donations go back to the West Island community groups we support. More than $3.8 million were distributed since 1998.

"Share the Experience" Benefit Auction Raises $45,000!
On November 17th, close to 100 business and community leaders helped to make "Share the Experience", a benefit auction of priceless experiences held at Restaurant Le Chambertin, a resounding success. A total of $45,000 was raised at the event which featured a live auction of 14 unique experiences as well as a silent auction. All priceless experiences were generously donated by corporate partners and generated lively bidding wars. For example, bidding was fast and furious for a dinner for 12 people with hockey legend Guy Lafleur as well as for an exclusive evening for 50 ladies at 40 Westt Steakhouse.
