Save the date of the coming Christmas show: Saturday December 10, 2022, at 2 pm!
L’ensemble vocal Les voix du coeur is back IN PERSON to perform its traditional Christmas show featuring lovely Holiday songs in French at Paroisse du Sacré-Coeur! All money collected at the door will benefit CAH’s Chritmas Sharing campaign. See you at Paroisse du Sacré-Coeur, 381 rue Sherbourne (at Carlton St, right across from Allan Gardens).
Each year, CAH organizes a Christmas Sharing campaign to benefit Francophone seniors in need. For more than ten years, the vocal ensemble Les Voix du cœur has been our privileged partner to offer a Christmas show. In the last two years, the show could not be held in person at Paroisse du Sacré-Coeur in Toronto. The choir and CAH decided to work together to create a Sing-Along in French and post it on Youtube. The SING-ALONG 2020 was a compilation of songs from their previous Christmas shows taped at the church. For the SING-ALONG 2021, Les voix du coeur chose to record new holiday songs without an audience, specifically for the SING-ALONG. For each of them, CAH edited a 30-minute video and added the lyrics so you can sing along with friends and family.
And take advantage of our cheerful SING-ALONG in French during the Holidays!
Both our SING-ALONG are accessible on Youtube! Profitez-en lors de vos événements francophones tout au long des festivités de décembre 2022. Here are the Youtube links:: SING-ALONG 2020 et SING-ALONG 2021.

Today more than ever, CAH customers need you!
In the past year, nearly 90 seniors received grocery coupons; the rest of the money was used to provide basic necessities throughout the year, such as pairs of glasses, hearing aids and dentures to improve the comfort of the most disadvantaged seniors.
• $30 allows a senior to enjoy the holiday season and buy a turkey and some food.
• $50 allows a senior to purchase fresh products (meat/fish, yogurt) for two weeks.
• $100 helps a senior cope with a particularly precarious period (for example, an unexpected medical expense) so that he or she can cover food expenses for a month.
• $200 allows you to buy a pair of glasses and bring a precious comfort of life to the senior who receives them.
While the holiday season is for many people a resolutely positive time to celebrate with family and friends and where sharing, love and mutual aid are highlighted, this is not the case for some seniors who are lonely, suffer from loneliness and live in a precarious financial situation.
This is a time to lend a hand to CAH in this difficult time of the pandemic, which is emerging as an opportunity to show solidarity and to be in the thick of things.
