A New Chapter, Stronger Momentum

Foundation June 22, 2026

The past few weeks have once again demonstrated the remarkable strength of our community.

From the YMCA Challenge to the exceptional commitment of our partners, volunteers, and donors, every contribution helps make the programs and services of the YMCAs of Québec accessible to more people.

As the Foundation enters a new phase of its development, it can count on an engaged community, strong foundations, and renewed ambition for the years ahead.

In this spirit of continuity, Pauline Ferrand has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation, while David Latour, Executive Vice-President and Chief Risk Officer at La Caisse, has assumed the role of Chair of the Board of Directors. Together, they will continue the work already underway to strengthen the Foundation’s capacity to sustainably support the mission of the YMCAs of Québec.

David Latour

“The Foundation is entering a pivotal stage in its development, one where our ability to mobilize support will make all the difference. More than ever, we must rally the philanthropic community around expanding our impact and reaching more families and young people across Québec. Having spent five years on the YMCA Challenge organizing committee and witnessing firsthand the remarkable commitment of our team and volunteers, I’m honoured to continue this engagement in my new role.” — David Latour

Pauline Ferrand

“I am very pleased to continue this commitment as Chief Executive Officer and to work alongside our team, partners, and donors to transform this ambition into meaningful outcomes for the individuals, families, and communities we serve.” — Pauline Ferrand
