Sainte-Justine’s Mois des Câlins Turns 20!

The CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation, supported by long-time partners Rythme, Jean Coutu and Clarins, is delighted to launch the 20th annual Mois des Câlins campaign.
Starting today, you can buy your limited-edition Clarins “Rose Câlins” Lip Perfector, available exclusively through participating Jean Coutu stores in Quebec, while supplies last. For each product sold, Jean Coutu and Clarins will together donate $10 to Sainte-Justine to have a direct impact on patient care, teaching and research, and to help build a healthier future for children and mothers-to-be.
Be sure to watch the campaign ad celebrating this year’s anniversary edition. (Content available in French only.)
Get your kids to draw their best hug!
Starting January 8, 2026, we are asking 5-to-12-year-olds across Quebec to show us what a hug looks like to them as part of the Dessine-moi un câlin drawing contest. The winning submission will grace the box of next year’s “Rose Câlins” Lip Perfector, and the young artist will receive a $1,000 gift card to a book and toy store. Deadline for entries is February 20, 2026.
For full contest rules and more information about the campaign, go to calins.ca.
On behalf of all the young patients and mothers-to-be in the Sainte-Justine community, we thank you for embracing this heartwarming cause.
Au nom des mères et des enfants de Sainte-Justine, merci d’embrasser la cause.
