Due to the current freezing rain warning, CIUSSS West-Central Montreal is urging all of its users and staff to exercise caution. Environment Canada is predicting between 20 and 30 millimetres of freezing rain from early Wednesday morning into Thursday afternoon.
Some CIUSSS services may be affected and it’s always best to plan ahead. Our teams make every effort to notify users of any postponements or cancellations, but if you do have an appointment, please give yourself extra time to arrive safely, and on time.
As always, do not hesitate to dial 911 in the event of an emergency, or 
811 for additional health advice or psychosocial support.
