Companion Visits
Trained volunteers pay regular visits to seniors and isolated members. A friendly conversation, help reading mail, a walk around the block — small gestures that make a big difference for mental and physical health.
Our Programs
Practical, welcoming, community-based programs designed to keep our neighbours healthy, active, and connected — through every stage of life.
What We Offer
Health and Wellness, the Neighbourly Way
Our programs are shaped by the real needs of the people who live here. They evolve with the seasons, respond to what our members are experiencing, and are always offered free of charge to those in our community.

Rides to Appointments
Reliable, respectful transportation to medical appointments in Saint-Pascal, La Pocatière, and the wider region — coordinated by our volunteer drivers so no one has to miss essential care.

Gentle Movement
Weekly low-impact exercise sessions designed for adults of all abilities. Balance, flexibility, and gentle strength work — because moving well is the foundation of healthy aging.

Nutrition Workshops
Practical cooking demonstrations, budget-friendly meal planning, and honest conversations about eating well through the Quebec winter — with recipes to take home and share.

Every Wednesday morning, our walking group meets in the village and heads out together. All paces welcome. No registration required — just come as you are.

Prevention Info Sessions
