Giving seniors their rightful place in society is a fight we\u2019ve been actively engaged in at Le Groupe Maurice for several years now. The Montreal seniors\u2019 march, organized by <\/strong>Un et un font mille<\/em><\/strong><\/a> and in which we have participated for the past three years, has become a must-attend event for anyone wishing to get involved in the cause of better ageing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mobilizing the community FOR and WITH seniors<\/h2>\n

In honour of National Seniors Day on October 1st<\/sup>, more than 600 men, women and children gathered at the Jeanne-Mance Park for a large walk for seniors. Many Le Groupe Maurice employees, as well as La Fondation Luc Maurice representatives, participated, and seniors from 14 Le Groupe Maurice residences joined them to celebrate this special day.<\/p>\n

This year, a number of committed political, corporate and artistic guests were invited, including Alain Champagne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Le Groupe Maurice. In addition, MNA for Pr\u00e9vost, Minister for Health and Minister Responsible for Seniors Sonia B\u00e9langer, actress Louise DesCh\u00e2telets and musician Gr\u00e9gory Charles took part in the festivities and speeches. Chef Danny St Pierre also awaited walkers at the end of the route in the La Fontaine Park, to wrap up the event on a gourmet note!<\/p>\n

Living and aging together<\/h2>\n

Montreal was not the only city to get involved for and with seniors. Several walks organized by Le Groupe Maurice residences were also held in various cities across the province, to enable as many people as possible to celebrate seniors and make their voices heard. The seniors\u2019 march in Quebec City with the Margo, Le Gibraltar, Quartier Sud and \u00c9kla residences attracted a hundred of participants, under a perfectly radiant sun!<\/p>\n

At all the walks, many Le Groupe Maurice participants wore their Choisissons ensemble un monde sans \u00e2gisme<\/em> t-shirts and proudly waved their signs with strong messages in solidarity with seniors and the fight against ageism, like:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Dear ageism: it\u2019s over between us!<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Ageing well, ageing together!<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Respect has no age. It\u2019s for everyone!<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Better ageing is a societal issue that concerns us all. By helping to raise awareness of the well-being of seniors today, we\u2019re helping to find tomorrow\u2019s solutions and meet the challenges raised by aging in Quebec. We\u2019re proud to have taken part in the 2023 seniors\u2019 march and would like to end on a poetic note, inspired by columnist St\u00e9phane Laporte: \u201cOld age is not a nightlight. Old age is a radiant light. It\u2019s at the end of the day that the sun shines the brightest.\u201d<\/p>\n
