On June 18, 2025, as part of Marie-Vincent\u2019s 50th anniversary celebrations, we unveiled our Wall of Major Contributors. This symbolic and meaningful installation honours individuals whose dedication helped shape our organization and amplify our mission\u2014one step at a time. It\u2019s a tribute to a community of committed builders and changemakers.<\/p>\n
This anniversary year is an opportunity to highlight key achievements: significantly reducing wait times for clinical services, expanding our prevention and training programs, opening a second service point in Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie in 2022\u2026 But above all, it\u2019s a moment to recognize the people who made it all possible.<\/p>\n
Through the 21 names featured on the wall, we honour those who, through their time, expertise, compassion or financial support, left a lasting mark on Marie-Vincent\u2019s story. Their contributions go far beyond funding\u2014they helped structure the organization, expand our reach, deepen our expertise, and build a culture of hope, resilience, and protection for youth.<\/p>\n
Since the opening of our Centre of Expertise in 2005, over 5,000 children have benefited from our clinical services, and close to 38,000 professionals have taken part in our training sessions across Quebec\u2014and beyond.<\/p>\n
For the 2024\u20132025 year alone:<\/p>\n
These numbers reflect collective, sustained, and often quiet work that changes the lives of youth affected by sexual violence every single day.<\/p>\n
The unveiling of the wall was marked by powerful and emotional moments, as each contributor was honoured with care:<\/p>\n
Our 2025 anniversary theme, \u201cTogether, One Step at a Time,\u201d resonated deeply throughout the event. Because although the road to a world free from sexual violence is long, we can look back with pride knowing that every step has mattered.<\/p>\n
