ACTE is what it is today, thanks to all the people who, for more than 35 years, have contributed to its development, worked for it and been participating members. <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Association des accident\u00e9s C\u00e9r\u00e9brovasculaires ou Traumatis\u00e9s Cr\u00e2niens de l\u2019Estrie (ACTE) was founded on December 19, 1984 by three people: a stroke victim, a TBI victim and a healthcare professional.<\/p>\n

In its early days, ACTE was a support network with no premises or staff.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Institut universitaire de g\u00e9riatrie de Sherbrooke (IUGS) welcomed ACTE services on Belv\u00e9d\u00e8re Street. That same year, the Association hired a coordinator and a secretary. A community life developed and the Association\u2019s journal was created.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

ACTE held a regional symposium to raise awareness and provide information on issues related to TBI. Recommendations on human needs, financial issues, services and information were made. These recommendations were submitted to the R\u00e9gie r\u00e9gionale de la sant\u00e9 et des services sociaux de l\u2019Estrie in January 1994.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

For its 10th anniversary, ACTE organized more sustained promotional activities: conferences, videos, shows, theatre plays.<\/p>\n

This was in addition to the regular activities offered in the mid-1990s: support networks, information activities, recreation, representation and advocacy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Day Activity Centre project began with a series of meetings with partners (ARLPPHE, CRE, R\u00e9gie de la Sant\u00e9 et des Services sociaux, etc.) The primary goal was to maintain the progress made for people with CVA and TBI.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The R\u00e9gie r\u00e9gionale de la sant\u00e9 et des services sociaux de l\u2019Estrie granted a non-recurring subsidy over two years to experiment with day activity programming for people with CVA and TBI in the Eastern Townships. ACTE was also actively involved in the start-up of two provincial groups: \r\n

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    On its 15th anniversary, ACTE organized a forum on the theme \u201cLa parole aux sans voix\u201d (A voice for the voiceless) where 120 people took part in a day of exchanges and information. Also, to celebrate its 15 years, a team from the National Improvisation League faced a team of journalists from the region and ACTE members.
    \nACTE\u2019s relocation to permanent premises remained one of the major issues for the following three years. ACTE moved its offices three times in three years and eventually became a tenant of the CRE on boulevard Jacques-Cartier Nord.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    During the 2000s, ACTE continued to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Expand its regional and provincial reach;<\/li>\n
    • Develop a program of activities to meet the needs of its members;<\/li>\n
    • Maintain close ties with its partners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      As a result, more and more potential members were being referred. Those years brought their share of debates, questions, clashes of ideas and visions. The Association had to redefine the roles and responsibilities of each member at the heart of its organization and adopt policies and tools (human resources management), with a view to consolidating its management.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      To celebrate its 35th<\/sup> anniversary, ACTE organized some activities that were out of the ordinary, such as:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • An improv night that allowed members of ACTE\u2019s improvisation workshop to compete with members of the l\u2019Abordage improvisation league in Sherbrooke;<\/li>\n
      • Conferences dedicated to members and the public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        ACTE extended its services to the regions by opening service points in Coaticook, Lac-M\u00e9gantic and Magog. The year ended with a big Christmas dinner for members.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

        We cannot ignore that this year brought about a virtual shift in the provision of ACTE\u2019s services, particularly with regard to certain activities. What does the future hold?
