Mr. Speaker, there is a lot to celebrate this year in Berthier—Maskinongé, where three community organizations are marking their 30th anniversary. What an amazing milestone.
The Réseau des aidants naturels d'Autray has made it its mission to improve the quality of life of caregivers by providing them with services and a place to meet other caregivers in order to break their isolation.
The Maison des jeunes Le Gros Orteil in Saint‑Jean‑de‑Matha is a place where local youth can participate in wholesome activities and work on their social skills in a safe environment.
Lastly, the Centre L'Étape du bassin de Maskinongé welcomes people struggling with addiction in a supportive, judgment-free environment. Its activities are focused on intervention, prevention and awareness.
The people who operate these three organizations are making a real difference in the community. They are changing and saving lives. I congratulate them on reaching 30 years and thank them for what they do. Long may they continue.
