History

The Montreal Real Estate Foundation for Kids (FIMJ) was launched in 2003, in collaboration with two founding organizations: BOMA QUÉBEC (largest association of commercial property owners and managers in Québec) and IDU QUÉBEC (Urban Development Institute of Québec).

 

Created in 2000, through the Oxford Quebec Foundation, the FIMJ has expanded and now reaches the entire real estate community while respecting its mission.
