The SHDM gets involved with Montréal-based entrepreneurs for social innovation

As part of the Grande rencontre des entrepreneurs de Montréal event, the Société d’habitation et de développement de Montréal (SHDM) has awarded a $1,500 grant to Esplanade, a space for collaborative activities dedicated to entrepreneurship and social innovation.

This grant was presented by Nancy Shoiry, Managing Director of the SHDM, during the event organized for entrepreneurial succession by the Jeune chambre de commerce de Montréal (JCCM) on April 27. It was the members of the jury, Dr. Gilles Julien and Jean-François Archambault of the Tablée des chefs, who chose the Esplanade as the winner in the category Social Entrepreneurship: Resolving issues in our society. As a partner of choice in responsible property investment in Montréal and as a sponsor of this event, the SHDM seeks to contribute to the development of innovative initiatives in the field of social action.

The whole SHDM team congratulates the Esplanade organization which defines itself as space to foster collaborative activities dedicated to entrepreneurship and social innovation. We also congratulate the other winners of this award, which are Fleexer, Jarre and Oui are entrepreneurs.
