On June 16, 2025, the French Language Health Services Network of Eastern Ontario held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Centre Pauline-Charron in Ottawa, in a hybrid format.

Held under the theme “Our French-Language Champions: A Collective Asset Committed to Your Health,” the event brought together our honorary, individual, and corporate members, health system partners, and key actors from the francophone community, both in person and virtually.
 

A Roundtable that Sparked Dialogue and Inspiration

The meeting featured a dynamic roundtable discussion with four outstanding panelists:

• Marc Bisson, Executive Director, Centre de santé communautaire de l’Estrie
• Imène Tissoukai, Organizational Development Consultant, Santé Bruyère
• Rachel Gouin, Executive Director, Centre le CAP
• Mélanie Henderson, Director, Member Experience and External Relations, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada

Their insights highlighted common challenges, inspiring practices, and tangible pathways to promote equitable and sustainable access to French-language health services across the region.

Key Moments of the AGM

During the AGM, we presented our 2024–2025 Annual Report, outlining the year’s key achievements, strategic initiatives, and the continued growth of our network. We also conducted the election of Board members for the upcoming year.

The meeting concluded with an informal networking session, providing attendees and partners the opportunity to strengthen connections and explore future collaborations in support of the Network’s mission.
