Major renovations were undertaken to create a workplace of more than 13,600 sq. ft.<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t2005\n\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>We undertook another major self-financed 1.5-million-dollar renovation project to increase our workplace to more than 21,500 sq. ft. We were then employing 85 individuals living with physical and mentally challenge limitations.<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t2019\n\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>To meet the ever growing and varied demands of our customers, we acquired new equipment such as a Challenge Hydraulic round cornering machine, PBS plastickoil maker, Spiel Sterling Punchmaster 20 and GBC plastikoil inserter. We have since then been able to offer document perforation of all kinds including round corners. Also, we proudly celebrated our 40th anniversary as CENTRE DE TRAVAIL LARO.<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t2020\n\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>Once more, to meet increased customers demand we acquired additional binding equipment which has allowed us to be increasingly competitive and more highly efficient.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<h1>Our Mission<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t<p>At the CENTRE DE TRAVAIL LARO our mission is to meet the needs of people with functional limitations by creating suitable, sustainable, quality and rewarding jobs in the Outaouais region.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tThe Board of Directors\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centredetravaillaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/photo-bruno-bonneville-president-laro-circle.jpg\" alt=\"photo-bruno-bonneville-president-laro\" title=\"photo-bruno-bonneville-president-laro\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t<h4>Bruno Bonneville<\/h4>President\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centredetravaillaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/photo-louise-andree-pelletier-vice-presidente-laro-circle.jpg\" alt=\"photo-louise-andree-pelletier-vice-presidente-laro\" title=\"photo-louise-andree-pelletier-vice-presidente-laro\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t<h4>Louise Andr\u00e9e Pelletier<\/h4>Vice-president\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centredetravaillaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/photo-jean-charles-moncion-tresorier-laro-circle.jpg\" alt=\"photo-jean-charles-moncion-tresorier-laro\" title=\"photo-jean-charles-moncion-tresorier-laro\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t<h4>Jean Charles Mon\u00e7ion<\/h4>Treasurer\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centredetravaillaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/photo-melanie-lafrance-secretaire-laro-circle.jpg\" alt=\"photo-melanie-lafrance-secretaire-laro\" title=\"photo-melanie-lafrance-secretaire-laro\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t<h4>M\u00e9lanie Lafrance<\/h4>Secretary\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centredetravaillaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/robert-trepanier-administrateur-laro-circle.jpg\" alt=\"robert-trepanier-administrateur-laro\" title=\"robert-trepanier-administrateur-laro\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t<h4>Robert Tr\u00e9panier<\/h4>Administrator\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centredetravaillaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/photo-bernard-garneau-administrateur-laro-circle.jpg\" alt=\"photo-bernard-garneau-administrateur-laro\" title=\"photo-bernard-garneau-administrateur-laro\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t<h4>Bernard Garneau<\/h4>Administrator\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centredetravaillaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/photo-caroline-dupont-administratrice-laro-circle.jpg\" alt=\"photo-caroline-dupont-administratrice-laro\" title=\"photo-caroline-dupont-administratrice-laro\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t<h4>Caroline Dupont<\/h4>Administrator\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centredetravaillaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/photo-chantal-laberge-administratrice-laro-circle.jpg\" alt=\"photo-chantal-laberge-administratrice-laro\" title=\"photo-chantal-laberge-administratrice-laro\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t<h4>Chantal Laberge<\/h4>Administrator\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<h5>THE CENTRE DE TRAVAIL LARO TEAM<\/h5><h3>Meet our staff<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<p>The CENTRE DE TRAVAIL LARO currently employs around 100 people, including people with functional limitations.
