  • For Hurried Caregivers
    Handy Resources FOR HURRIED CAREGIVERS Guide for CAREGIVERS OF SENIORS IN THE ESTRIE REGION Acknowledgments The Table de concertation des aînés de l’Estrie (regional roundtable on seniors) is proud to present caregivers in Estrie with this directory, which should serve as a handy guide for a long time to come. The roundtable would like to thank all those who contributed in so many ways to developing this guide for the benefit of caregivers. Many thanks, in particular, to all those who have taken part in our Advisory Committee, namely France Lebrun, Caroline Giguère, Geneviève Côté, Jacinthe Garant, Marie-Ève Nadeau, Marie-Pierre Laurent, Michel Couillard, Sylvia Wheeler, Julie Grenier, Ginette Mercier, Christine Meunier and Louise Tremblay. Thank you for your continued dedication throughout the process. Special thanks go to the one hundred or so consulted caregivers who provided us with insight into the various dimensions of the guide’s production. We would also like to thank our project leaders Micheline Bouchard and Géraldine Lansiaux, as well as Fanie Lebrun, who supported the project during the leadership transition period. This guide was produced with the financial participation of L’APPUI pour les proches aidants d’aînés de l’Estrie and the region’s seven territorial roundtables on seniors. Background This regional guide for caregivers of seniors is the result of regional coordination between organizations that provide services to caregivers, on one hand, and the region’s roundtables on seniors, on the other. Over the years, guides have been produced in a number of Estrie’s MRCs, but none had comprehensively covered the services available throughout the region.

Revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 are estimated to be $105 million and $44 million, respectively. “The acquisition of DERYtelecom is a strong strategic fit which will allow Cogeco Connexion to increase its presence in areas that are adjacent to its Quebec footprint and to build on the long history of mutual respect, collaboration and friendship between the two companies,” said Philippe Jetté, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cogeco Communications Inc. “Our proven track-record in the successful integration of regional cable bus iness es , having acquired five companies in the U.S. and Canada over the past five years alone, demonstrates our commitment to bring superior connectivity to regional and rural communities.” “As a Quebec-based company which is committed to its employees and its regional communities and with a history similar to ours, Cogeco presented itself as the best possible partner for us. This new beginning bodes well for the future of DERYtelecom, its clients and employees,” stated Bryan Godbout, President and General Manager of DERYtelecom.

  • Phase 1 of the Survey
    PSYCHOSOCIAL IMPACTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: RESULTS OF A BROAD INVESTIGATION IN QUÉBEC Author and lead researcher: Mélissa Généreux1,2,3 Co-researchers: Marc D. David,3 Marie-Ève Carignan,3 Olivier Champagne-Poirier,3 Gabriel Blouin-Genest,3 Mathieu Roy2-3 Affiliations: 1) Direction de santé publique de l’Estrie 2) Institut national de santé publique du Québec 3) Université de Sherbrooke BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVESTIGATION Context: This is a two-year project financed by the CIHR ($500,000) and carried out by an interdisciplinary team from the Université de Sherbrooke and other national and international partners. The Québec investigation is a supplement to this project, which is funded by the seven regional public health departments. Why: Like other types of catastrophes, the pandemic is likely to trigger serious consequences in the population in the short, medium and long terms. It is important to fully grasp the nature, scope and distribution of the psychosocial impacts of the pandemic and the related risk and protection factors, to support decision making and public health interventions. Who: Representative sample of 6,261 adults living in one of the seven participating social-health regions of Québec (Mauricie–Centre-du-Québec, Estrie, Montréal, Laval, Lanaudière, Laurentides, Montérégie), with a recruitment goal of 750 to 1,000 adults per region. These regions, all located in central and southern Québec, comprise just over 70% of the entire population of Québec. For information purposes, for a random sample of 6,261 participants, the margin of error is 1.24% within a confidence interval of 95% (19 times out of 20).
