| THE EJLB FOUNDATION The EJLB Foundation is a private charitable foundation incorporated in 1983 and located in Montreal, Canada. The Foundation has three main areas of interest: Mental health The Foundation's mental health grants are directed at organizations located either in Montreal or Toronto, which provide frontline services to improve the quality of life of persons suffering from mental health problems. These include drop-in centres, residential facilities, reinsertion programs, family support services, community awareness campaigns designed at alleviating the stigma attached to mental illness and pilot projects with the potential of promoting better care and services to vulnerable persons with serious and persistent mental health problems. Environment The Foundation's environment grants focus on Eastern Canada (Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces), with a priority given to the protection of natural areas of ecological importance, as well as to the greening of the urban landscape. The Foundation also provides support, on a case-by-case basis, for a variety of other concrete endeavours designed to promote and enhance sustainable environmental practices. Community The Foundation's community grants support the work and social mission of various food banks and community gardens in both Montreal and Toronto. Community grants are also awarded for the sponsorship of tickets to a number of concerts and recitals held in these cities which are provided to mental health organizations or other deserving community groups. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The EJLB Foundation is pleased to announce the nomination of Mr. Kevin Leonard as Executive Director effective January 1, 2012.
