CONTEXT

 The original purpose of The Yellow Door (at the time, YMCA of McGill), incorporated by a motion of Parliament in 1904, was to promote morality, religion, and social intercourse at the university. Later on, as the organization became more independent and the focus strayed from Christian values, our name was changed to The Yellow Door and the whole of the downtown core became our workplace. 

Today, the spirit of social intercourse has become the main focus of our organization.
We aim to promote social inclusion of all ages through creative projects, music, mindfulness, and food. We see all generations of Montréal citizens taking charge and becoming innovators of our community - promoting dialogue where there is none, sharing ideas and projects to solve social issues, or even simply meeting new friends.

​We acknowledge that The Yellow Door is situated on unceded Indigenous land, as it was taken without treaty or agreement. We recognize the Kanien’keha:ka Nation as the custodians of Tiohtia:ke (Montreal), a traditional meeting place with other Iroquoians and Algonquians, including the Algonquin-Anishinaabe, Atikamekw and the Huron-Wendat. We stand in solidarity and in action in supporting the journey towards reconciliation.
