😎 En effet, l’organisation de l’événement en sera à sa 13e année cette année. Après une pause forcée pendant la pandémie, le Salon du véhicule adapté, qui est entièrement gratuit et ouvert à TOUS, revient en force le dimanche 28 mai 2023, de 13h à 16h, et s’installera dans le stationnement du CISSSMO sur la Rive-Sud de Montréal.

🚐🚙 De la Tesla au FORD F-150, ou encore à la moto Indian 1800 cc à 4 roues, en passant par le classique Grand Caravan, de nombreuses adaptations de véhicules seront présentées par des membres de MÉMO-Qc pour l’occasion, et nous sommes également heureux de pouvoir compter sur la présence de fournisseurs et collaborateurs incontournables tels que TVR Technologies, Eureka et Savaria.

🫵 Venez donc découvrir, vous inspirer et échanger avec les propriétaires des différents véhicules et bénéficiez aussi des conseils avisés d’une ergothérapeute spécialisée en réadaptation à la conduite automobile du CISSSMO, qui seront sur place pour répondre aux questions des visiteurs.

🙏 Merci infiniment de partager l’invitation dans vos réseaux respectifs !
