CRIR’s Scientific Direction and its partners are pleased to announce the appointment of Danielle Filion as Coordinator of the Knowledge Hub*.
Danielle will coordinate the activities and development of the Knowledge Hub, as well as supervising a project manager. She will work closely with the Knowledge Hub management committee, formed by representatives from the five research centers, as well as university representatives and students.

Afterwards, for nearly 10 years, she worked as a community organizer in the health and social services network (CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’Île-de-Montréal).
After 2 years teaching social work at Cegep de Lanaudière in Terrebonne, Danielle joined the public foundation L’ŒUVRE LÉGER (now called Mission Inclusion) in 2015, where she led the Quebec Programs team, whose mandate is the empowerment of vulnerable and marginalized populations through financial and organizational support to community organizations.
