Hospitals stage emergency preparedness exercise

On October 24, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., the Agence de la santé et des services sociaux de Montréal is staging a simulated emergency situation as part of a response drill.

The event will involve two major hospitals that are part of the McGill University Health Centre: the Montreal Children’s Hospital and the Montreal General Hospital. Actors will pose as patients and/or victims.

As a result, members of the Concordia community may see the heightened presence of police cars and ambulances, as well as actors posing as victims in the surrounding area of the Sir George Williams Campus. University operations will not be affected by this drill.
