This year’s contribution raised the overall total tof nearly $190,000 over 11 years.

Every year, Stelpro meets the Grande virée des sentiers challenge, which provides an opportunity for our team to bond and have a good time while also committing to helping sick children. Our support can make a big difference in children’s lives, and, as a bonus, we keep fit,” says Stelpro President Yves Chabot.
Stelpro donated $250 to the foundation for every employee who crossed the finish line. Every year, the company also supports children through a $2,500 Grande course des enfants sponsorship.
