our story

Charles is my grandfather.

I named the company after him. And it all starts with a simple but essential idea: every resident, every person living in a senior residence, carries a precious story that deserves to be heard and shared.

The first steps

In senior residences, internal communication was often scattered and hard for seniors themselves to access. What was missing was a warm space, designed for them.

A newsletter that gives people a voice

The custom newsletter grew out of that. More than an information tool, it is a stage where residents express themselves: every month, a shared story that celebrates each person’s.

Tailor-made, never one-size-fits-all

Every community has its own rhythm. Our newsletters adapt: print, digital or both. Today they also bring together cities, clubs, foundations and chambers of commerce.

Advertising in its rightful place

Local advertising supports each project without getting in the way of reading: it is carefully selected and never intrusive.

What’s next

Content created with and for seniors (short features, portraits, tips) and a digital space to find the newsletters, share memories and local initiatives. Not another impersonal platform: a real living space, built for connection and well-being.

Our mission

For every resident to become an active member of their community, not just an occupant: a keeper of memories who enriches everyone.

AlloCharles is the story of a meeting between people and communication.

Sofiane Guizani

Co-founder · President and Chief Operating Officer

“Charles is my grandfather’s name. AlloCharles is for every Charles out there.”

Driven, warm and passionate about projects, Sofiane comes from a family of entrepreneurs. He studied computer programming, then nursing at the Sorbonne, where he was vice-president of the student union.

Time spent in long-term care settings in Québec had him working with seniors. He then led projects for companies in France and Canada.

AlloCharles brings together everything that drives him: caring for others, seniors, technology and project management. Having grown up close to his grandparents, he wants to improve seniors’ quality of life and strengthen the bonds between generations.

Marc St-Gelais

Co-founder · Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer

“Numbers are what let a great mission last.”

Marc grew up immersed in business, between an entrepreneur father and an accountant mother. He studied management and commerce at Concordia and UQAM.

He then supported businesses within economic development organizations across Greater Montréal, in management, accounting and finance: start-ups, growth, turnarounds and acquisitions.

In May 2023, he co-founded AlloCharles with Sofiane, drawn by the mission and the challenge. He steers the finances at every major step of the company.
