Women Liaison Project

The Femmes-relais project is for women in Saint-Laurent who want to get involved in their community and support other women.

For six months, participants will follow a practical training path. They will learn to listen with respect, recognize certain needs, and direct women to services and resources available in the neighbourhood.

Important information
