History
May 8, 1987 marked a memorable turning point in the history of seniors in the MRC de Vaudreuil-Soulanges, as it was on this date that people aged 50 and over took charge of improving their quality of life and breaking their isolation by organizing a large gathering in Saint-Polycarpe.
Over the years, the organization has seized favourable opportunities that have enabled it to adjust to the different realities experienced by people aged 50 and over, and to adapt its services to continue fulfilling the mission for which it was created.
Today, CARREFOUR BIENVEILLANCE 50+ offers quality services and resources in a spirit of accuracy and professionalism. Behind every intervention is the desire to equip people aged 50 and over to live and age with serenity and happiness.
