WALK WITH US!
Official presenter of the Quebec City walk:
On October 1, 2024, over 1,700 citizens from all walks of life gathered in Montreal and Quebec City to take part in the “AGISSONS ENSEMBLE pour le mieux-être des aînés” walk, organized by Mouvement HABITATS to mark International Day of Older Persons.
Presented by Un et un font mille, the Fondation AGES and AREQ in Quebec City, the march also counted on the exceptional mobilization of over 90 ambassador organizations, representing tens of thousands of members and citizens across Quebec.
In organizing this walk, Mouvement HABITATS and its partners wanted to reaffirm the strength of a collective movement in the face of the realities of old age and aging. All ambassadors believe that seniors are, and must be, a positive force in the community.
Once again this year, actress Louise DesChâtelets was the spokesperson!
A solidarity event in support of seniors!
Since its first edition in 2021, this event has been promoting active, positive aging by combating stereotypes of immobility. It highlights the diversity of seniors' experiences and provides a platform for enriching exchanges between organizations, businesses, citizens and change-makers.
