About the Foundation
CWMF for the people of Nemaska
The Christopher Wapachee Memorial Foundation was born from the love and courage of Teddy and Marianne Wapachee, Christopher's devoted parents. Christopher passed away prematurely, leaving an entire community in mourning. In his memory, his parents chose to transform their grief into a foundation that would be a rich legacy to the community and allow its members to grow their capabilities and talents.
Every year, nearly forty community members benefit from financial assistance to cover the costs of their activities under one of the four pillars supported by the foundation:​
Sports & Recreation
Arts & Culture
Education
Health & Well-Being
Team
The entire volunteer team is committed to the development of the Nemaska community and its members. Collaboratively, they award scholarships and organize the annual charity golf event, playing a vital role in sustaining the Foundation’s operations.
