Pierre Legault, M.S.M.
Dorval, Quebec
In 1994, Pierre Legault had a vision to provide a means for disadvantaged and unemployed Montréalers to reintegrate themselves into the workforce. As founder of the thrift store Renaissance, he has expanded the chain from a single shop into 10 locations including a distribution and sorting centre, as well as a mobile collection trailer. He now provides retail skills training and employment to over 200 people per year.
