Past projects we have supported

Family Information Fair

The Concordia University Student Parent Centre (CUSP) collaborated with the non-profit Families Centre-Ville and McGill University to host a free event that connected families with the resources and services they are looking for in or around Montreal. The OCE supported this event, which took place in the EV atrium, by providing lunch to all of the community organizations who hosted kiosks at the fair.

Creative Spirits

Native Montreal

The Creative Spirit program consisted of four workshops about visual effects creation for video games, which took place in the Faculty of Fine Arts’ Center for Digital Arts. Stephane Nepton (Uhu Labos Nomades) was the main instructor, assisted by Concordia Graduate student, Waylon Wilson. The workshops attracted eight Indigenous youth, aged 14 to 27 years old. The OCE supported this project by coordinating access to space with the Faculty of Fine Arts and covering the costs of hiring the required lab technician and workshop assistant.
