Dear Russell Township Residents,

We are reaching out to invite you to an important Community Open House hosted by Dr. Danielle Debanné and myself, Mayor Pierre Leroux. This event is scheduled for Monday, October 30th, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at City Hall in Embrun. The focus of this gathering is to initiate a community-led effort to address the significant physician shortages in our region.

Event Details:

• Date: Monday, October 30th, 2023

• Time: 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

• Location: Gaston Patenaude Hall, City Hall, 717 Notre-Dame Street, Embrun

• Agenda: Open discussion on community-led initiatives to address physician shortages

About the Initiative:
This is not a committee of council but a community-driven initiative. We believe in the power of community collaboration to find viable solutions to the healthcare challenges we face. The objective is to foster a dialogue that could lead to the formation of a community committee dedicated to tackling physician shortages.

Your Participation:
Your voice matters. Your insights, experiences, and willingness to contribute are essential as we embark on this collaborative journey. This informal gathering is an opportunity to share your thoughts, hear from your neighbours, and collectively brainstorm solutions.

Light refreshments will be provided during the event.

Please share this invitation with your friends, family, and neighbours. The more perspectives we have, the more robust and inclusive our solutions will be.

We are looking forward to engaging with you and working together to improve healthcare accessibility in Russell Township.

Warm regards,

Mayor Pierre Leroux & Dr. Danielle Debanné
