Our History

The creative energy that set this historical review in motion

comes from former board chair and long-time MCM supporter, Dr. Lynn McAlpine, emerita professor at McGill University and the University of Oxford.

​

For over 35 years, and despite the demands of teaching, writing and lecturing around the globe, Lynn has always made herself available to MCM. Her wisdom and insights have guided us through challenging times and broadened our horizons - empowering staff and charting new waters for the organization. Most importantly, Lynn has been a faithful friend whose vision of an inclusive and compassionate society continues to play a major role at Montreal City Mission, today and into the future. Thank you Lynn!
