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.”
