Denis Coderre, former mayor of the city of Montreal, has taken on the role of Social Mission Ambassador for Les Résidences Soleil. He is now dedicating his time, experience, and energy to a cause that is close to his heart: the well-being of seniors. This new role marks a meaningful turning point in his journey, one rooted in humanity, solidarity, and social commitment.
A Mission Aligned with His Values
In an interview shared by Les Résidences Soleil, Denis Coderre explained that he personally approached the Savoie Family to offer his support. Drawn to the company’s social mission and deeply human values, he saw it as an opportunity to get involved in a field he knows well. “At 60, I no longer need to engage in partisan politics. I want to continue being useful, and I believe I still have a lot to give,” he shared.
His commitment to seniors is nothing new. Throughout his career, he has supported initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life for seniors, including founding the AQDR in Montreal-North and creating the Métropole amie des aînés program (MADA). He has also worked with numerous associations representing thousands of seniors and has been an active advocate for recreational and support programs tailored to their needs.
A New Perspective on Senior Living Residences
At the core of his new involvement is a clear goal: to highlight the vital role of private senior living residences. For Mr. Coderre, these living environments play a crucial role in preserving the quality of life, safety, and well-being of seniors. He emphasizes the importance of offering a warm and inclusive environment, accessible to all, regardless of income.
It is this spirit of inclusion that particularly moved him at Les Résidences Soleil. “Everyone deserves their place in the sun,” he says. He also praises the company’s philosophy, born from a simple and sincere gesture: a son building a senior living residence for his father, with the goal of offering him a respectful and safe living space.
A Strong Commitment to Seniors
Denis Coderre sees his ambassador role as a way to stay connected to the field and to people. He not only hopes to promote the mission of Les Résidences Soleil but also to raise awareness and provide information. According to him, too many seniors are unaware of the resources available to support them. His aim is to foster a collective awareness: better information leads to better support.
