The Espoir Famille weekend gives
people with MS, their spouses and
their children an opportunity to meet
with other families affected by MS,
talk with other participants about the
reality they share, and break their
isolation.
Various topics related to MS will be
covered in presentations and
workshops. A program of activities
has also been specially designed for
kids aged 6 to 17 years old who have
a parent with MS. The purpose of the
program is to allow them to better
understand their parent’s disease and
build bonds with other children and
teens who are going through a similar
situation. On Saturday evening,
participants of all ages will get
together for a festive event.

Difficulties getting around ?
The Regroupement des Usagers du Transport
Adapté et accessible de Montréal (RUTA) has been
representing and defending the individual and
collective rights of Montreal public transit users with
disabilities since 1980. Operating in the adapted and
regular transit systems, RUTA promotes universal
accessibility in all of its cases and ensures that
measures are implemented to ensure that
passengers are able to use public transit.
A team that’s listening to you! Tell them about any problems you have experienced
while using public transit. Your interests will then be
represented in the files and claims RUTA presents to
the relevant authorities (Société de transport de
Montréal, city of Montreal, EXO, Autorité régionale de
transport métropolitain, Ministère des Transports,
etc.). In addition, the team can answer all your
questions and support you in any steps you decide to
take. For example, if you are thinking of applying to
use adapted transport or filing a complaint with a
transit corporation, they are there to support you in
your efforts!
