Five years ago, Montréal’s Collective Impact Project was launched as a unique neighbourhood-based effort to experiment, innovate and find new ways to accelerate change and achieve measurable and significant outcomes to reduce poverty. Centraide du Grand Montréal has been the catalyst and project operations lead of this innovative approach to city-wide change.
