50 nurses are willing to come to Gaspésie but have no accommodation

Her arrival is now scheduled for Septembersays Lou Landry, director of media relations and spokesperson for the Gaspésie Integrated Health and Social Services Center (ZISS).

It will remain a challenge, he admits, but it might be a bit easier to find housing for this second cohort in the fall than it is in the region during the April-May spring..

A first cohort of 37 nurses arrived in the fall of 2022 from Algeria, Morocco, Cameroon and Tunisia to complete a 960-hour refresher training course to be ready to work in the health network.

In this first cohort there are still some people who will have to move in the next few months and find a new apartment, said Lou Landry.

THE ZISS is asking for the public’s help to accommodate these Quebec-recruited workers that the health network desperately needs.

These are workers who come to fill an urgent need for labor at home.adds Lou Landry.

We expect initiatives in the medium term, but we also want to make the population aware of the needs at the moment. If there are people who have opportunities, contact us. It had been done in the first cohort, he said.
