Construction is officially underway on a new adapted residential and multifunctional complex in Saint‑Rémi, Quebec, for adults living with physical disabilities, including traumatic brain injuries and other physical impairments. Developed through a partnership between the Government of Quebec, the Government of Canada, the City of Saint‑Rémi, and Vents d’espoir de la Vallée du Saint‑Laurent, the project represents an investment of more than $19 million and will become the ninth Maison Martin‑Matte.

“As the Member of the National Assembly for Sanguinet, I am very proud of the measures we are implementing to provide stimulating and adapted living environments that meet the needs of its clientele,” said Christine Fréchette, Premier of Quebec. “With this impactful project, we are showing that it is possible to innovate to better respond to each person’s specific needs, while bringing together committed partners who share the same goal. This is one of the ways we are improving access to healthcare in Quebec.”

Set to open in 2027, the Maison Martin‑Matte will combine 42 adapted residential units with a range of specialized facilities designed to promote autonomy and well‑being for those living with disabilities. Plans include a therapeutic pool, an adapted training room, a day centre, and multifunctional community spaces designed to create “a safe, stimulating environment” for residents.

The ground-breaking ceremony on May 26 brought together several key figures, including Minster of Health, Marjorie Michel, who stated: “This critically important project will enable vulnerable people in the Montérégie region, including those living with a head injury, to maintain their independence in a safe and caring environment and will provide valuable support to their loved ones.”
