The objective of the With RESPECT to our Elders project is to celebrate the value of older people in the Eastern Townships through intergenerational activities and shared creative expression. This project is funded by the Ministère de la famille et des aînés of the government of Québec, through a 3-year program entitled Soutien aux initiatives visant le respect des aînés (SIRA).
