CJ-11 Sainte-Thérèse I Sainte-Thérèse 27/06-18/07 ENVI 12 vols
LOCAL ORGANIZATION: City of Sainte-Thérèse. Over 10 years ago, the municipality and Chantiers jeunesse volunteers began transforming an abandoned site into a new green space located right in the town center, some 30 km north of Montréal. The site, known as the “Pit à Charron” (the Charron’s Pit) is a former quarry and was for many years a garbage dump! The groups toiled away to clean the site and begin a landscaping job. We are, as a result, a long way from the first two phases when 800 tires were found and the first paths and trails were built! This site is now a nature park well known by the whole community. Participants have helped with the installation of windmills used to filter the water of the ponds. One of these ponds has, by the way, been named after Chantiers jeunesse to honor the groups! Welcome to the “Jardin des Sources” (Springs Garden)!

WORK: Two groups will follow one another this summer in July and in August to improve the accessibility of the site for the citizens and to bring out the ecological and natural character of the site. Moreover, you will get the chance to work with youths from the Ste-Thérèse Youth Club. Here is the challenge that awaits you in this bird’s paradise:
- Clean some areas in the park and the Lamothe pit ;
- Plant trees and shrubs to reduce erosion;
- Clean the lakes and the rivers surrounding the site.

Temporary work permit and visa
The temporary work permit is MANDATORY for all volunteers and so is the visa, if required.
The volunteer must, before departure, request an Employment Authorization to the Immigration Services of a Canadian Consulate (and provide many documents required by their Consulate which include: form IMM 1295B, invitation letter from Chantiers jeunesse, copy of the passport, photos, proof of sufficient funds – copy of the bank account statement). Before leaving, he/she must receive a letter delivered by Immigration Services of a Canadian Consulate. He/She must present this letter at the Canadian border to obtain a temporary work permit. This permit is required by Canadian authorities even if the work is on voluntary basis. This permit is usually easy to get, but the process takes around 3 to 4 weeks. However, starting January 1st 2008, the Canadian Government decided to impose a fee of 150$ CAD to deliver all temporary work permits.
