A Mother's Day filled with smiles at Montfort Renaissance 

For the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, the Montfort Renaissance Residence is currently experiencing an outbreak of COVID-19. This unfortunate situation means that families and loved ones could not visit on Mother’s Day. To lift the spirits and put a smile on the faces of the residents, the staff still found a way to honor the residence’s mothers and grandmothers.


“As Executive Director of Montfort Renaissance, I wanted to find

a simple way to put a smile behind the masks of our residents,

and to recognize the dedication of our employees during this

difficult time. They are, for the most part, moms themselves,

but spent day with our residents.”

Jeanne-Hélène Tardivel


All the ladies in the residence received this beautiful arrangement of flowers and treats. Such a generous and unexpected gesture that was greatly appreciated by the residents, the families, and the employees.
