CSSSs: community partners "avec du coeur"

Each CSSS has deep roots in its respective neighbourhood and an extensive track-record in serving the community. Organisers from the CSSS Cavendish (NDG) are leading the development of a food-security project in Saint Raymond (immediately adjacent the MUHC) that will see the creation of a community-controlled kitchen and a meals-on-wheels service. Organisers from the CSSS de la Montagne have played a leadership role in the activities of the CDEC CDN-NDG since 1992 and in the development of day-cares, seniors’ day centres, youth programs and non-profit housing. The CSSS Sud-ouest/Verdun, through its CLSC St-Henri office, has been a key actor, in close collaboration with Solidarité St-Henri, in the delivery of health, social and community services for the past 30 years.
