Avante August newsletter
Time is flying by; we can’t believe summer is already here. We hope you are all taking advantage of this beautiful weather, we certainly are. We’re trying to squeeze in as many outdoor activities as possible and hope to see you there.
WE’VE MOVED!
Avante has recently moved to a new location and we love it! We are now located at 9 rue de la Rivière, Bedford, however the main entrance is located on Clayes.
The best part of all is that our new place is so spacious and with the loosening of restrictions, we are slowly starting to offer more in-person activities. We can’t wait to see you all again.
Registration remains strongly recommended by calling 450-248-0530 or by email: avanteregister@gmail.com.
