Improving the
Living Conditions of
LaSalle Residents

Claude Lavoie
Executive Director

The Table de développement social de LaSalle (TDSL) (LaSalle Social Development Round Table) is a cross-sectoral, multi-network mechanism for concerted action which enables social and sustainable development for the ongoing improvement of the quality of life and living conditions of LaSalle residents.

LaSalle is home to a large number of organizations. The Table’s objective is to create an open, supportive and inclusive space for exchange, with a view to encouraging new members to join, while maintaining the engagement of those already involved.

We believe that organizations, as vital forces in the community, need to cooperate and mobilize to advance shared projects that will help shape LaSalle’s future.

As a neighbourhood round table, the TDSL plays many roles, including facilitating engagement approaches and spaces focused on a shared understanding of the issues facing the LaSalle community, and identifying development opportunities to bring about change through concerted projects. We fulfill our mission with the help of local stakeholders and citizens of all ages.
