Former Calumet Island Mayor Pierre Fréchette has been named as one of the newest members of CISSSO’s board of directors. Although he aims to bring a rural perspective to the table, Fréchette remains committed to serving the Outaouais as a whole.

Former Calumet Island Mayor Pierre Fréchette has been named as one of the newest representatives on the board of directors for the Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de l'Outaouais (CISSSO).
Fréchette is one of four new appointees to the board. There are 17 people who sit on the board.
There has been mounting pressure on CISSSO to appoint a resident of the Pontiac to the board of directors.
In December of last year, advocacy group Santé Outaouais 2020 tabled a report about the healthcare sector in the Pontiac.
It concluded that the services offered to Pontiac residents have decreased after the province’s healthcare amalgamation in the wake of the passage of Bill 10 in 2015.
The report also advocated for more local representation on the board.
