In 2020, to properly address the needs of seniors, the Ville de Saint-Lambert updated its Family and Seniors Policy. This ensures that the concerns of seniors will be at the heart of the discussions during future planning stages for all new projects and initiatives aimed at improving municipal services.
We invite you to discover some of the services, activities and initiatives for seniors by scrolling down this page.
In 2020, the Ville de Saint-Lambert has obtained its “Municipalité amie des aînés” (also known in Quebec by its French acronym MADA, and in English as “Age-Friendly Cities”) certification. MADA certification is given to municipalities that demonstrate a commitment to preparing for the future and taking action to promote the active aging of their population.
The MADA certification is in fact the result of a great deal of work and a long collaborative process with the community, which led to the development of our new Family and Seniors Policy. Through this policy, the City was able to show the government its determination to optimize the opportunities for good health, participation and safety that help improve quality of life as we age.
Guide to Québec government programs and services
Produced each year by the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale, this guide aims to inform seniors and their loved ones of the main government programs and services intended for them. Whether it is about home assistance, housing, transportation or tax credits, for example, seniors will be able to obtain clear and concise information on the various government programs and services offered.
