Important visitors! On Thursday, April 11, 2024, Stéphane Boyer, Mayor of Laval, and two members of the municipal council, Aline Dib, Head of Social Development, and Paolo Galati, visited La Maison de la Sérénité. The involvement and support of the City of Laval are essential to ensuring the sustainability and influence of La Maison, both in terms of promoting it and contributing to its funding. As the only palliative care home for the entire Laval area, we must work together and join forces. The presence of the Mayor and his team inspires confidence in us, and we feel a real sense of belonging on their part. A huge thank you to the Mayor and his team. Together, let's celebrate life!
