About CAAP Côte-Nord
In 1994, born out of the need to strengthen and make the handling of complaints more transparent and efficient, the Association for the Protection and Defense of Human Rights in the Côte-Nord territory was founded. It was in 1998, still driven by the same values, that the latter became the entity we know today: the Centre d’assistance et d’accompagnement aux plaintes Côte-Nord. A community organization mandated by the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux to assist you and accompany you in your complaint process.
Since 2019, we also have a mandate to help and support residents of PSRs when they experience dissatisfaction with their lease.
The CAAP Côte-Nord is a leader in providing support for users who exercise their right to file a complaint or who express their dissatisfaction. Thus, we inform you, support you and offer you direct assistance throughout your process.
Our services are offered throughout the Côte-Nord territory and our dedicated team is available Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 12 noon and 1 pm to 4:30 pm Contact us now by phone (free of charge), by email or by filling out our contact form.
