Our seniors make a remarkable contribution to the vitality and richness of our community. Young at Heart Week reflects our commitment to offering them concrete opportunities to be active, learn, come together, and discover the many resources available to them. In a large city like ours, ensuring a high quality of life for all generations is a collective responsibility and a priority,” said Ville de Brossard Mayor Doreen Assaad.
