Mr. Speaker, seniors in Alfred-Pellan have been hit hard by the pandemic. For many of them, it has been a never-ending year of lockdowns, isolation and lack of social activities.
Today, I would like to highlight funding totalling nearly $509,000 for Laval through the new horizons for seniors program, which will help finance 41 new community projects. In Alfred-Pellan, 13 organizations will be getting a total of more than $114,000 to host activities that will help our seniors boost their digital skills, meet up virtually and, most importantly, break their isolation.
During these trying times for our seniors, I would like to thank the organizations making seniors' well-being their priority. I thank the volunteers who bring joy to the hearts of our seniors, and I thank our seniors for their valuable contributions to our community.
