The first school for the Deaf in Montreal was started in 1870. Around
1960, the Mackay Institute and the School for Crippled
Children both needed a new building. The new "Mackay Centre"
was opened in 1964 to serve both populations. Since that time the
Mackay Centre has evolved into an organization in which two different
organizations cooperate to meet the needs of deaf and disabled children.
The Mackay Centre focuses on rehabilitation while the
Mackay Centre School concerns itself with the educational needs
of the children. There are many joint efforts in accomplishing these
goals. At the the present time, the school has a population of 28
deaf children and 133 physically disabled / language students ranging
in age from 4 years to 19 years. However, the majority of our students
are between 4 and 12 years of age. Students come to the school from
all corners of the city as well as from off island schools. There
are an additional 28 children who are not disabled in the school,
but who attend the school on our reverse integration program. These
students are from the Montreal area. This truly is a remarkable
school with dedicated professionals who truly help children make
the most of their lives. I decided that as a fundraiser for this
school I would help
them sell Christmas and Holiday Cards that were drawn by the children.
Proceeds from the cards would go back to the school to buy specific
equipment to further help these great teachers, help the children.
Being part of this experince truly has made me appreciate the holidays.
This year especially with all the tragedies in the world, pick a
worthwhile cause and contribute. A small contribution goes along
way in many deserving under priviledged peoples lives. If you would
like to know more about the Mackay Centre please visit their website
at www.emsb.qc.ca/mackay/generalinformation.htm. To order their
holiday cards you may call me at 514-337-2238 or visit my website

a heartfelt holiday season.
