Members of staff in CIUSSS West-Central Montreal who are responsible for public safety have been publicly recognized for helping to prevent significant problems when 2,000 Syrian refugees arrived in Montreal last winter. The acknowledgement, which took place at the Civil Security Forum in Quebec City earlier this month, is a reflection of the expertise of CIUSSS staff. It also serves as significant recognition of all the stakeholders and senior executives who spent several months participating in this noteworthy event.
The CIUSSS’s Department of Frontline Services, which is responsible for the Regional Program for the Settlement and Integration of Asylum Seekers, was at the centre of the clinical plan to cope with the arrival of the refugees.
