Vision Gaspé-Percé Now

Vision Gaspé-Percé Now was founded in 2004 as a result of a comprehensive consultation process and visioning event held with the English-speaking communities on the eastern tip of the Gaspé Peninsula. Vision works with and on behalf of the approximately 2,600 English-speakers in the MRC of La Côte-de-Gaspé and half of the MRC of le Rocher Percé. The mission of Vision Gaspé-Percé Now is to foster understanding and cooperation between English-speaking residents of the Gaspé Bay area.

The focus of the organization is primarily on health and social services, within a community development approach. It is working to develop strengths in the areas of partnering on senior health issues and on youth substance abuse and recovery. Vision Gaspé-Percé Now also strengthens volunteerism in the community through promotion and training and encourages the social involvement of seniors through mentoring in schools and volunteering in hospitals and long term residences.
