OUR STORY
A space for engagement, creativity, and connection
Founded in 1999 by parents from the Saint-Michel neighborhood in Montreal, our organization has evolved over time to become a warm and welcoming place. In February 2017, thanks to the generosity of the Yvon Lamarre Foundation, we acquired a house located at 9281 14th avenue, in the St-Michel district of Montreal. After major renovation and adaptation work, we opened our doors in December 2017.
Our primary commitment is to break the isolation of families with a relative with an intellectual disability, with or without autism spectrum disorder by offering the best service, place and enviroment to promote autonomy and social development of each user.
