Ricochet receives the 2025 Accolades Award – Social Economy, Service to the Community

It is with immense pride and deep emotion that we accepted, at the prestigious Accolades 2025 gala organized by the West Island of Montreal Chamber of Commerce, the award in the category Social Economy – Service to the Community.

A recognition that keeps us moving forward

This award represents much more than a trophy: it highlights the importance and relevance of our mission. For us, it is a real pat on the back, a gesture that tells us not only that we have the right to exist, but above all that we must exist.

We must be present for vulnerable people, for our community, and continue building inclusive, supportive, and sustainable solutions.

The meaning of this award

The Social Economy – Service to the Community Award is presented to a non-profit organization that stands out for the originality and innovation of its funding methods, as well as the significant impact of its activities on the social and/or economic outcomes of the community.

Through this recognition, the collective work of our team, volunteers, partners, and allies is being highlighted. Together, we demonstrate that it is possible to innovate and persevere in building a fairer and more resilient community.

Congratulations to all finalists and participants

We also wish to congratulate all the organizations that applied in this category. Each of you plays an essential role in creating a safe and supportive community, and your commitment deserves to be celebrated.

A special word goes to the two other finalists in this category: Abovas and the Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence. We have great respect and admiration for your work, and we are proud to share this recognition with you.

Thank you to our community

We warmly thank the West Island of Montreal Chamber of Commerce for this honor, as well as all the people and organizations who believe in us and support us.

This award inspires and encourages us to keep moving forward, with determination and kindness, for and with our community.
