Montreal, Quebec, Sherbrooke and Drummondville

Among the Marist communities of the Province of Canada, four of them are mixed and intergenerational, involved in hosting young people: Montreal, Quebec, Sherbrooke and Drummondville.

These communities are part of a Provincial project that aims at giving youth the opportunity to live in a Marist community, opened to young workers and university students aged 18 or older. These homes receive students from all walks of life and from multiple countries and different religions.
