Montreal

Montreal (French: Montréal; is the second-largest city in Canada and the largest city in the province of Quebec. Originally called Ville-Marie, or “City of Mary”, the city takes its present name from Mont-Royal, the triple-peaked hill located in the heart of the city, whose name was also initially given to the island on which the city is located, or Mont Réal as it was spelled in Middle French,(Mont Royal in present French).
The city has announced a series of concrete measures to attract families to Montréal. These new initiatives include housing, parks, the Montréal public libraries network, recreation and public transportation, as well as two pilot projects, family rest areas and parking reserved for families.
There are undeniable advantages to living in Montréal. Montréal has a number of assets: a network of bike paths that stretches along hundreds of kilometres, an abundance of parks and green spaces, clusters of services near to residential areas, impressive sports and recreational centres and exceptional arts and culture centres
More than 250,000 families who have chosen to live in Montréal appreciate these services. Although young Montrealers are attached to their city, too many of them choose to leave and raise their children elsewhere. This is why the city created a Family Policy in 2008 along with a 2008-2012 Family Action Plan, which focus primarily on demographics, safety, transportation and housing.

Children play a key role in the health and vitality of the city. They are our future leaders and GC Nexus helps families in balancing a stable home.

On the island of Montreal more than 101,000 seniors (40%) declare at least one disability that impacts the amount and type of activities they can engage in1 (difficulty seeing, hearing, communicating, walking, bending down or other similar activities); slightly over 44,200 of them live with a disability so significant that they receive home-support services from healthcare network affiliated establishments.
28% of people aged 65 and over live under low-income cutoffs, a reality that affects
just over 80,000 seniors.
18% of people aged 65 and over live in carless households, a proportion that nears
50% among those aged 85 and over.
Despite the availability of loved ones, many seniors limit their travels to the bare
necessities, either out of the belief that asking for help confirms their state of
dependence, or out of fear of being a bother.

GC Nexus enhances the quality of life for seniors by providing caregivers/PSW and Registered Nurses are professional, certified and love working with seniors/ elderly.
