Black History Month

At the CIUSSS de l’Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal, we are celebrating Black communities and the immeasurable contributions they have made not only within our facilities, but also across society as a whole. 

Several activities and opportunities for discussion and reflection are set to take place in our facilities throughout February in an effort to better understand and appreciate the value that Black communities bring to our everyday lives.
