The English Montreal School Board today celebrated a generous donation of $20,000 to four schools in St-Léonard by Tommaso  Marcantonio and Mattia Potenza of Gestion MMTP (https://www.gestionmmtp.com/en/gestionrpa).

 EMSB Chair Joe Ortona and Commissioner for St-Léonard Mario Pietrangelo were elated with the news. It was Mr. Pietrangelo who approached Gestion MMTP for the support. This will enable the three elementary schools — Dante, Honoré-Mercier and Pierre-de-Coubertin — as well as Laurier Macdonald High School to purchase equipment or other items not covered in the regular budget for the next calendar year. They will each be allocated $5,000.

"At a time when the government has imposed significant budget cuts, we are grateful for this generous contribution," said Mr. Ortona.

Gestion MMTP stands out for its expertise in the development of corporate and rental real estate projects, as well as in real estate management, particularly for residences intended for seniors.
