FFARIQ Negotiations Progress for Foster Families

The FFARIQ holds regular working meetings with the Comité patronal de négociation du secteur de la Santé et des Services sociaux (CPNSSS) to obtain working conditions for childcare resources that are worthy of the generosity and love you show to the children you care for.
