VOLUME 38, No 10– January 2020 We wish you a very nice winter!
FROM THE PRESIDENT
As we begin the year, the members of the board of directors join me in wishing you dear beneficiaries and
volunteers, as well as to the entire population, our best wishes for HEALTH, HAPPINESS and PEACE for the
new year. At the start of 2019, the CAB had made its wishes and hoped to: maintain its service offer,
recruit new volunteers and increase funding;
Well, thanks to you dear volunteers, all our partners and our dynamic work team, we made our wishes
come true and we also managed to establish a new service for caregivers.
For the year 2020, the CAB wishes you and wishes itself HEALTH. Health to all the volunteers and all the
staff who dedicate themselves to the population and good financial health to ensure the continuity of
services.
On television, on the radio or in the newspapers, we often talk about the needs and services of seniors, I
assure you that the CAB is always attentive to the needs of people in its community.
In collaboration with the Provincial Federation of Volunteer Action Centers, the CAB promotes our
regional realities for the implementation of various programs. Several services are in place and I invite
you, dear volunteers, to talk about them to those around you because we still need volunteers.
More and more organizations are having difficulty recruiting volunteers to carry out their activities.
Volunteers are everywhere and all causes are important and noble.
In 2020, I encourage you to share your experience, to tell those around you what volunteering brings you.
“We give time, and we receive pride, appreciation, pleasure, and satisfaction,… we have the
impression of having contributed to the well-being of others, of having made the difference in our
community ".
Roseline Adams
FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
Hello to you, faithful readers of Inter Coeurs,
Already 3 months have passed since the last publication. We had a busy fall and after a few weeks off, we
are ready to begin the last portion of our fiscal year, which ends on March 31st. Until then, we have a lot
of administrative work to do. It’s time for annual funding requests.
Before the holidays, we had confirmation of an increase in funding for the Community Organizations
Support Program (PSOC), for organizations working in health and social services. This recurring PSOC
increase represents an addition of $ 35M from the Government of Quebec for the 2019-2020 fiscal year
and this sum is added to the annual indexing, which is 1.8% in 2019-2020. For the CISSS de la Gaspésie,
$ 1,041,900 was allocated to support autonomous community organizations. For our organization, we are
talking about an increase of $ 6,975. We sincerely thank the entire team of the Regroupement des
organizations communautaire de la Gaspésie et les Îles (ROCGÎM) for their invaluable role as
representative in this matter.
You will see in the following pages that winter and spring will not be quiet either, with the various activities
and services underway. Among other things, we are proud to have developed a happy partnership with
2
the Recreational and Community Services of the City of Gaspé, in order to organize a recognition gala for
volunteers and organizations, during Volunteer Week which will be held in April 2020.
This activity will honor our frame of reference, more specifically in the field "Support to organizations in
the development, promotion and recognition of volunteer action".
Do not hesitate to follow us on our Facebook page and on our website, and to come see us. We are
always happy to receive you.
Good end of winter,
Monia Denis

3REMINDER OF INSTRUCTIONS TO PEOPLE RECEIVING TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT
FOR MEDICAL APPOINTMENT
What is a transport support for medical appointment?
It is a service performed by a volunteer driver, as part of the activities of a community and volunteer
organization. The Hauban Volunteer Center Inc. is duly recognized by the Minister of Health and Social
Services for offering this support.
Accompaniment-transport, as its name suggests, consists of accompanying a person in need of physical
support, comfort or supervision and who cannot find, in his entourage, the resources necessary to
accompany him to establishments and health and social services organizations (private or public) as well
as all health professionals (family doctor, optometrist, dentist, etc.)
To ensure proper operation, here are some important instructions to follow:
The 48 hour deadline must be respected to make a request, in order to give us time to find a available
volunteer.
You should not contact the volunteer directly. It is important to always contact the volunteer center
with any questions or changes.
The only stop authorized is at the pharmacy, to receive a prescription for medicines following the
medical appointment. Any other stops are not authorized.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you need more information about the medical transportation and we
thank you all for your collaboration.

MENTAL HEALTH RIGHTS AND RECOURSE GASPÉSIE-LES-ÎLES
FOR THE INTEGRITY AND RESPECT OF YOUR RIGHTS
Do you feel victimized by an injustice? Do you feel that your requests are being ignored or that you are
not believed? Well, Mental Health Rights and Resources Gaspésie-Les-Îles is there for you
Rights and Recourse has been working for more than 25 years with people living or having experienced a
mental health problem whose rights are not respected.
Our mission is to promote, protect and defend the rights of people to help them develop their knowledge
and reclaim power over their lives.

the person. At Rights and Recourse, you will not be judged, you will be considered and supported

What is a caregiver?
A caregiver is someone who takes care, without remuneration, of a friend, relative or loved one. It allows
this loved one to have the privilege of staying at home thanks to their help, care and presence.
1.5 million Quebecers * (= 24% of adults in Quebec), the proportion of Quebecers who offer at least one
hour of help per week. And among these, approximately 200,000 Quebecers offer 20 hours or more of
assistance per week. It's enormous!
We become caregivers when someone around us needs our help because they can no longer take care of
themselves.
If you are a family member or friend who provides unpaid care to a loved one with a physical, cognitive
or mental health problem, you are indeed a caregiver, that is, a caregiver, an essential health care partner
and someone who also has needs to be filled. This is why it is important to take care of yourself in order
to take better care of the other. Your Hauban Volunteer Center can provide support, information and
support. Do not hesitate to contact us.
