Who are we?
The Table régionale de concertation des aînés de Laval (TRCAL) is a regional body dedicated exclusively to seniors. Reporting to the Secrétariat aux aînés and the Ministre responsable des Aînés et des Proches aidants, the TRCAL carries out consultations on the issues faced by Laval’s senior population. It brings together organizations offering services and activities to seniors in the region and promotes them. The events put forward by the Table Régionale de Concertation aim to value and recognize the importance of seniors in the community.

The visual identity of the TRCAL
The TRCAL logo features a clean and simple signature with contemporary typography, highlighting the A for Aînés, the french word for seniors. It represents strength and humanity.
The flower symbol represents freshness, light, diffusion, openness to the outside world and radiation. It also reminds us of the TRCAL’s mission of consultation and that of collecting, communicating and disseminating information or resources from the community to its various clients.
The different shades of lavender and purple are soft, but vibrant at the same time. They suggest serenity, calm, quietude and protection. They also represent the vast cultural diversity of Laval.
