Cirque Hors Piste: 2020 Bell Cause pour la cause recipient 

Cirque Hors Piste, a national leader in social circus established in Montreal since 1995, has been selected as a 2020 Bell Cause pour la cause recipient.

Social circus allows us to listen to the most isolated people, those for whom the pandemic accentuates social isolation and psychological distress.  

"This precious support will allow us to develop a project with marginalized youth in Montreal and Nunavik and contribute to their physical and mental well-being," said Karine Lavoie, director of Cirque Hors Piste.

Bell Cause pour la cause is a large-scale, multi-year program for initiatives aimed at breaking the silence surrounding mental illness and supporting mental health across Canada.
