On November 3 Authentic Leadership alum Vanessa Reid retired from Santropol Roulant in Montreal, where she has been the executive director for five years. Santropol is a community organization founded and run by young people for the purpose of bringing people together across generations and cultures. Their meals-on-wheels service has been bringing bicycle-delivered, homemade meals to the elderly for ten years.

Greening Rooftops in Montreal
A sister initiative to the intergenerational Meals on Wheels is The Rooftop Garden Project, a partnership between Santropol Roulant and Alternatives.

The organic vegetables grown in the demonstration garden are used to make nourishing meals for Meals on Wheels.
