In addition, inspectors Dubuc and Couture took the opportunity to award a quality mark to the agents who participated in the E=MC² project.

The team was made up of agents Mathieu Farley, Guiseppe Dignazio, Marie-Pierre Gobeil and Vanessa Lepage, socio-community agents of the PDQ21 supported by Claire-Maureen Parkinson, consultation agent within the Prevention and Urban Safety Division (DPSU).
