Also present were members of the Residents’ Committee:

  • Four other members

Representatives of the care facility:

This event gave us the opportunity to visit the Agora’s new living space, a gathering place for residents. The Gisèle Allard Fund contributed to the financing of this major project. A Gisèle Allard project evaluation form was completed. HVD also took this opportunity to present the Residents’ Committee with a framed photograph of Ms. Allard, who represented the class action lawsuit that concluded in 2013.
