President / Founder

Born in Grand-Mère in 1959, at the end of my high school I worked for a local plumbing company and as a Firefighter for the municipality until November 1982 to then join the Canadian Armed Forces and studied to be an Radar Technologist. After various assignments, I left the Canadian Forces to join ATCO Corp. under the banner of Frontec Logistic Corp. and went to the United States to study the types of radar that were in operation on the DEW Line and the North Warning System. After a few years on different sites, I was recruited by different international forces where I served (in Africa, Middle East and Europe) until December 2000 and then came back to Canada.

For more than 10 years I was looking for a way to help my Brothers and Sisters in arms, because I quickly realized that there was a gap to fill regarding the Soldiers who suffer from Post Traumatic Shock Syndrome and who return from mission. That is when I found this beautiful land located in La Bostonnais that I could transform into the most complete and large rehabilitation center for PTSD.

Victor DeSousa graduated from the University of Montreal in 2016 with a Doctorate in Pharmacy (PharmD). In order to better understand the reality of pharmaceutical care in the Quebec field, he worked in several pharmacies across the province. 

In 2019, he became the owner of his own community pharmacy in Montreal. Interested in the well-being of his community, he has overseen the development of several health services for vulnerable populations. He has established nursing care, a support system for elderly patients and an adapted service for patients with opioid use disorders. 

With a commitment to the health of vulnerable populations and experience in leading large-scale projects, Victor is ready to guide the development of medical and pharmaceutical care at Rendez-Vous de l'Espoir. 

Construction and Maintenance Manager

Human resources manager, specialist in logistics and work organization for over 35 years. Director in real estate management, human resources and financial coordination in various manufacturing companies and for various organizations.

Very sensitive to the problems and repercussions on people who suffer from post-traumatic stress.

I made a friend in François who convinced me by his great generosity and his extraordinary determination to get involved and help him develop his idea which is approaching more and more a magnificent realization that will allow many people to "live again" in a healthy and serene way.

Treasurer / Accountant

I arrived in Montreal in 2011 with over 20 years of experience in accounting in Albania.

After obtaining the certificate ''Access to the accounting professions - CPA path'' - HEC Montreal, I started the training with the Order of CPA in order to obtain the professional title of CPA by 2024

Throughout my career, I have participated in the success of various projects in different fields and industries. This experience has provided me with the necessary know-how to clearly communicate accounting and financial reality to professionals from other disciplines and specializations, while guiding them to achieve their objectives.

Working in the community has allowed me to experience life in other dimensions, to become humble and to grow day after day.
