MONTREAL, May 4, 2026 — Last Saturday at Parc Maisonneuve, over 30 Amilia employees laced up for the 2026 YMCA Challenge for the third consecutive year, joining hundreds of participants in a shared effort to support the YMCAs of Quebec Foundation. Together, they ran or walked over 200 km and raised $6,311 to help fund programs that keep children, youth, and families active, connected, and supported in their communities.
For the Amilia team, supporting initiatives like the YMCA Challenge is a natural extension of the company’s mission: be a trusting partner that helps people stay active, healthy, and socially engaged in their community. It’s also a reflection of the company’s belief that meaningful impact happens when people come together with care and purpose.
Hugo Lachance, CEO of Amilia and runner of the 10km distance, expressed:
“Strengthening communities isn’t something we do alone. It’s about showing up, together, for causes that matter. The YMCAs creates spaces where people can grow, belong, and stay active, and we’re proud to stand alongside them in that work by offering best-in-class solutions.”
Through collective effort and shared commitment, the Amilia team not only contributed financially but also reinforced its role as a caring partner to the communities it serves. Amilia encourages organizations, partners, and individuals to join in supporting the YMCAs of Québec Foundation. To contribute, visit: ymcaquebec.org
