Scots care! Support the St. Andrew's Society

Founded in 1835, the St Andrew’s Society of Montreal is a charitable society dedicated to the assistance of all Montrealers and to the preservation of Scottish arts and culture.
Through various fundraising events, the society assists a number of institutions including the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital and the Douglas Hospital Foundation. It also provides grants for special cultural projects, bursaries for over fifty post-secondary students annually, and emergency assistance to Scots in need. The St Andrew’s Society is a major sponsor of the McGill Chair of Canadian-Scottish Studies.
