On Monday, August 8 at 7:30 a.m., the Montfort Emergency Department reopened after being closed for two twelve-hour periods over the weekend. We will continue to assess the situation on a daily basis, and continue to make every effort to provide emergency services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Members of the community will have the opportunity to pay a final tribute to Mrs. Gisèle Lalonde, a great lady of the Francophonie and the leading figure in the SOS Montfort cause, who passed away on July 27. A condolences book will be set up under a large tent next to the Monument de la Francophonie, located in front of Hôpital Montfort, on Saturday, July 30 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
