Every first day of the month, Les R\u00e9sidences Soleil Manoir Laval honor its residents by celebrating their birthdays and wedding anniversaries of the month, perpetuating a 17-year-old long-standing tradition. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariette Tremblay, president of the residents’ committee at the residence on Chomedey’s Boulevard de l’Avenir, proudly expresses the importance of this monthly event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab It’s a special moment for all the residents,\u201dsays Mrs. Tremblay. We celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, and this tradition has been going on for 17 years now. It helps create a strong bond between residents and maintains a festive atmosphere within our community.\u202f\u00bb <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariette Tremblay also pointed out that the team of nine members of the Organizing Committee makes every effort to ensure that each event is a memorable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abThe tables are beautifully decorated, and each birthday party attendee can invite their loved ones. We invite a musician to play the accordion, and we organize a drawing to make even more people happy. It’s a day of joy shared by all.\u202f\u00bb <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significant celebrations<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For Ginette Th\u00e9or\u00eat and her husband Richard Duchesne, who were celebrating their respective birthdays that day, the event had a particular significance.

\u00abAt a certain age, you find a new family in residence, and it’s with this new family that we’re celebrating our birthdays today. Even with my disability, I’m happy and grateful to be here.<\/em> \u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n\u2014 shares Ginette Th\u00e9oret, looking radiant.<\/strong><\/mark><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Other testimonies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To conclude the festivities, Mariette Tremblay shared a personal anecdote, reminding us how important these moments are for each resident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u00abI celebrated my 80th birthday here last September, surrounded by fifty friends, she says. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Living in a residence means staying young and active among caring people.<\/em>\u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
