A COMMON GOAL.
Recognizing the urgent needs of the residents of House of Nazareth, Léo and Jeannette wanted to provide a welcoming environment for those seeking to improve their living conditions. With the support of Sister Auréa Cormier, they mobilized friends who shared their values.
In 2013, "Enviro Plus" opened its doors to train and employ unemployed or underemployed people, notably through the resale of furniture and household appliances. Recognized as a charity in 2014, Second Chance Workshop inc./ Enviro Plus has since helped a large number of people regain their independence and acquire a sustainable career.
Today, this essential mission continues with passion and determination thanks to the remarkable commitment of our team, the leadership of our board of directors, the generosity of our extraordinary volunteers and the solidarity of our magnificent community network.
Together, we are joining forces to offer a second chance to those who need it and to build, day after day, a more inclusive and sustainable world.
MISSION.
To contribute to the fight against poverty by providing training and employment opportunities to marginalized people, while protecting the planet through the recovery, restoration, and sale of used furniture and appliances. Our social mission is based on a strong environmental commitment, in order to create a positive and lasting impact within the community.
