What is this project about?

It’s a collection built around the most precious things we have: our history and our memories.

The idea for this project emerged during a brainstorming session at Entraide Plus, when the team was reflecting on how the pandemic had highlighted the isolation of many seniors in our society. From that reflection came a simple idea: to give a voice to those who hold our collective memory.

With this collection, we want to recognize and celebrate the legacy of our elders.

They have walked this path before us—sometimes with wisdom, sometimes through trial and error—and have left behind lessons that continue to guide us today.

Each person carries a story, a treasure waiting to be shared.
Through Les Gardiens de la Mémoire, our team helps participants put those stories into words, ensuring their voices are heard and remembered for generations to come.

Les Gardiens de la Mémoire – Tome II

L’EntraidePlus brings us the second volume of its magnificent collection Les Gardiens de la Mémoire!

Volume II, written by Marguerite Fradette, brings together the confidences and stories of some twenty men and women of incredible sincerity and generosity. Treasures of the heart that come to life on every page, through authentic encounters and stories that enrich our collective memory.

Every encounter, every dialogue is a treasure from the heart.
A beautiful project that celebrates the richness of our seniors and our history.

Order your copy now!

Volume 1 of Les Gardiens de la Mémoire has been a great success!
This collection of stories from 30 local seniors—many originally from elsewhere—celebrates the knowledge, experiences, and values they continue to pass on to our community.

Available locally at Entraide Plus and Librairie Larico (Place Chambly) for just $14.95.
