All proceeds going to Service bénévole d’entraide Vimont-Auteuil (SBEVA)
Although some were worried about a sudden and unexpected downpour raining out the party, nearly all concerns were set aside when hundreds of residents of Laval’s Saint-Bruno district gathered near Lausanne Park Sunday afternoon August 24 for local city councillor David De Cotis’s ninth annual Fête de Quartier.
The area’s biggest community celebration of the year drew more than a dozen local organizations and merchants.
They were eager to touch base with people from the area. Elected representatives from various levels of government were also on hand to introduce themselves.
All for a good cause
The event was organized by De Cotis in conjunction with the Service bénévole d’entraide Vimont-Auteuil (SBEVA), a local non-profit that provides meals-on-wheels to hundreds of individuals impacted by loss of personal autonomy.
All proceeds from the Fête de Quartier de Saint-Bruno will be going to SBEVA. “This a community event to create a sense of belonging for everyone – but especially the children,” De Cotis said in an interview with The Laval News.
“But at the same time, all the money raised today is going straight to the SBEVA. straight to the SBEVA.”
