CITL (Conseil intermunicipal de transport Laurentides) and the city of Saint-Jerôme have announced a new transportation service for seniors. As a result, Saint-Jerôme becomes the seventh city on the CITL territory to offer this service.

Every Friday, between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m., Saint-Jérôme residents 65 and over who are not admissible to the Transport Adapté program may be picked up from their home and brought to one of several selected locations (listed below) for the cost of $1 per ride ($2 for a return trip). This announcement is part of Saint-Jerôme’s redesigned collective transportation program launched on August 10, 2014.

The objective of the new senior transportation program is to allow people who are 65 and over (and do not qualify for Transport Adapté) to travel comfortably by taxi from their home to a determined location within their town. These locations include the hospital, medical clinics, local businesses and community centers.

“Saint-Jérôme is eager to be recognized as a senior friendly city. We recognize the rights of seniors to live in the best possible conditions” says Stéphane Maher, the mayor of Saint-Jerôme and a member of CITL. “Saint-Jerôme goes beyond tributes and big declarations by making concrete efforts to adapt its policies, structures and services to meet the needs of seniors in respect to housing, leisure, urban layouts and transportation” added Mr. Maher.

Senior citizens who are interested in taking advantage of this service must register with the city of Saint-Jérôme by phoning the following number: (450) 436-1511, extension 3273. They may also register in person at Quartier 50+ located at 425, Jean Baptiste Roland Boulevard.

Once registered, the next step is to reserve their transportation by phoning CIT Laurentides’ Transport Adapté department the Wednesday before the Friday on which they wish to travel. On that Friday, the taxi will show up at their residence at a pre-arranged time. The payment is made directly to the taxi driver after boarding.

The Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) is a network over 60 community resources, associations, foundations, public institutions and other stakeholders dedicated to creating partnerships that enhance health and social services for English-speaking communities in Quebec.

Health Passport Information (taken from the CHSSN’s website)
“Several years ago a community organization serving the English-speaking community of the Chaudière-Appalaches Region in Quebec decided to invest resources it had received from Health Canada for promoting better health of its community into a pocket reference that could be used on a visit to the doctor or an emergency room. They felt that having some of the basic vocabulary necessary for these visits at a person’s fingertips could improve the outcome of the visit and ultimately the health of the individual. The pocket reference was called the MCDC Health Passport and was a huge success. The model has since been adopted in several regions of Quebec and in two Francophone communities across Canada (Newfoundland and Yukon). The CHSSN recognized a good idea and decided that an electronic version of this passport just might be the next step. So here we are. This version of the Health Passport is benefiting from the development and revision of several organizations. MCDC (Megantic English-speaking Community Development Corporation) developed the original version and VEQ (Voice of English-speaking Quebec) and Jeffery Hale Community Services revised and produced a second version. We have taken the content (with VEQ and MCDC’s permission) to create this electronic version for use by the greater English-speaking community of Quebec. All of this work would not have been possible without the financial support from Health Canada and their Official Languages Support Program.”
