  • Reflections on H1N1

  • Montreal Inter-agency Agreement on Healthy Schools and Communities (2008-2013)
    Since 2003, a provincial agreement for the complementarity of services has marked the collaboration between the education and the health and social services networks. This regional agreement to support the implementation of HSC was signed to put into practice the promotion of health and well-being as well as prevention strategies. The signatories are:
    ■ The 5 school boards
    ■ The 12 CSSS
    ■ Direction régionale du ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport
    ■ L’Agence de la santé et des services sociaux de Montréal

     By 2013, the parties have agreed that: 75% of elementary and secondary schools will be involved in HSC collaborative
    efforts (young people-schools-families-communities) to carry out the program; Three-quarters of these collaborations—in which schools participate—will have developed and implemented health promotion-prevention action plans. As a result, over 50% of targeted youth will be reached.
