Green Fund


Recommended by the Civic Committee on the Environment (CCE), the Green Fund's objective is to collect donations to finance community-proposed projects related to the enhancement and promotion of the Town of Rosemère's green vision.

In order to make this fund grow, the Town of Rosemère has made a commitment, in 2021, to match every dollar donated by residents, up to a maximum of $25,000. With this commitment, the Town has once again made a concrete action to carry out innovative projects in order to protect the environment on its territory. A fund by Rosemerites, for Rosemerites!

So far, over $130,000 has been raised. This is great news for the Green Fund!
