SBA’s transport and companionship services for medical appointments as well its tailored approach to volunteer activities made it the go-to reference for senior citizens of Ville-Émard/Côte St-Paul. SBA has proudly been engaged in the southwest area of Montréal, the community with the highest aging population, for the past 42 years. One step at a time, a caring community made up of locals and volunteers form a valuable social safety net to help maintain seniors facing a loss of autonomy in their familiar surroundings for as long as possible.

“After my retirement, I was looking for a way to contribute a little to our society and doing the accompaniments is very valid for the people who need us, just as it is very satisfying for me too… Above all, the pleasure comes from the people I met, the SBA team, the other volunteers, as well as the customers who are always very nice and who appreciate us a lot."

“I love feeling useful. By helping people, I consider that we receive more than what we give... To make a difference in people's daily lives, however small it may be."

"By remaining optimistic and well supported, the future will be happier... And together, we will go further."
