Local 144 International

MARCH 2019 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA 9 always try to organize our way of doing business to improve the work of our members and to get owners to want to invest their money in Quebec,” says Morissette. “This is a benefit to all indus- tries.” The men and women of Local 144 are also proud community members whose actions speak louder than words. In Spring, 2017, dozens if not hundreds of homes in Quebec were damaged from some of the worst flash flooding in decades. Local 144 members pulled up their sleeves and quietly helped their neighbours: 500 members in total spend two weeks volunteer- ing. Thanks to the generosity of its members, over $ 100,000 was raised for the JDRF (Junior Diabetes Research Foundation) in 2018, and Local 144 has recently named The Breakfast Club another charity they will support. “Our members work hard and are very generous,” says Coursol. “That passion runs throughout their work, and we are very proud to represent the best in the business.” www.local144.ca
