MEPEC is the 22nd NPI (Network and Partnership Initiative) in the province of Québec. NPI is a program designed to support Quebec’s minority English-speaking communities (ESC) in improving and maintaining access to the full range of Health and Social Services. Funding for this program is provided by Health Canada and managed by the CHSSN (Community Health and Social Service Network). MEPEC also receives funding for the Enhancing Regional Community Capacity (ERCC) program provided by the Secrétariat aux relations avec les Québécois d’expression anglaise. Also managed by CHSSN, this program will help MEPEC better service it’s ESC and increase its understanding so as to better respond to the ESC’s needs and priorities in relation to government, regional and community stakeholders. MEPEC’s mission is to serve the interests of the English-speaking population in the Monteregie East region. To achieve this, we connect, collaborate, communicate and facilitate with citizens and/or community partners.
