The 2026 One Voice Coalition Retreat

On March 18, 2026, the One Voice Coalition came together for its 2026 Annual Retreat, hosted at Seniors Action Quebec in Montreal, in collaboration with the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN).

Twenty member organizations from across the Greater Montreal area attended, united by their shared commitment to supporting seniors.

A welcome address by Laurent Saint-Jacques, Conseiller en développement des communautés at the Secrétariat des relations avec les Québécois d’expression anglaise (SREQA), highlighed the importance of strong ties between community organizations and government partners in advancing the well-being of English-speaking seniors in Quebec.

The retreat was facilitated by consultant and writer Michelle Holliday whose guidance shaped a day of reflection and forward-looking dialogue among Coalition members. Participants explored strategic directions and identified potential common projects — conversations that will help shape the One Voice Coalition’s priorities in the year ahead.
