Our History

From 1995-1996, a group of people from the Lucie-Bruneau Rehabilitation Center and the Quebec Paraplegic Association founded Viomax. The goal was to offer people with physical disabilities, physical activities that were easily accessible after their rehabilitation in order to allow them to take charge of their physical condition and therefore improve their quality of life. Thanks to the collaboration of 2 founders Viomax was not only able to come to life but also was able to progress steadily. A study carried out by the Quebec Parapelegic Association found that Viomax was the only organization offering these services in the Greater Montreal region.

In 1997, Viomax was officially recognized as a non-profit organization when it received its letters patent and registration number as a charity organization. Viomax gradually acquired all the necessary tools to ensure its long-term progression complete with a board of directors, general rules, charity organization status, efficient management mechanism, stable staff, support from other organizations which deal with issues related to disabled people, etc.

Over the years we have developed a variety of services that are now offered to our members. Our programs include physical activities in our gymnasium, the pool, weight room and field sports. Since then, the organization has continued to grow in order to respond to the needs of our clients.

In 2000, Viomax integrated an activity for disabled children between the ages of 6 and 12 into its program, followed by a program for adolescents in 2003.

Viomax aims to offer clients a program consisting of a broad range of adapted physical activities, allowing people living with disabilities to choose the activity that interests them most according to taste and interests. Keeping in shape and ensuring one's health by taking part in an activity that responds to our needs and tastes is always more pleasant and easy!
