It takes a community to grow the common good
Archipel Director wins an award and strongly believes that in health as in business, to establish a good support network, it takes a community!
On May 24, 2023, Elizabeth Tanguay, Director of Archipel Ontario Health Team (OHT), received the Public Sector Leader award at the Gala Émeraude of the Regroupement des gens d’affaires (RGA) de la capitale nationale. For the past 40 years, this annual gala has paid tribute to local business people and companies who have distinguished themselves in various aspects such as leadership, innovation and commitment within the Ottawa Francophone business community.
“What great visibility for Archipel OHT! I’m very proud to share this honour with the 60 member organizations of our network, who work together to coordinate and optimize the delivery of essential health and community services in both official languages.,” says Elizabeth Tanguay.
The mission of the RGA is to promote and support the success of Francophone and Francophile business people in the National Capital Region, while the mission of Archipel is to create partnerships to improve access to health care and community services for people in the region.

Local businesses play an important role in the social fabric of communities, directly affecting the social determinants of health of their populations. In addition, most business owners have a talent for bringing people together to help one another and support causes and charities within their communities.
“They say it takes a village to raise a child. The same applies to healthcare, it takes a whole community to make it grow! The health sector is so much more than hospitals as it encompasses so many care and service providers. From childbirth to childcare and from mental health services to facilities for seniors, there’s a whole network of businesses and organizations deeply rooted in communities. By being a member of the RGA, we can raise Archipel’s visibility, make the private sector aware of the population’s needs, forge links with the French-speaking world and expand our network,” adds Elizabeth.
The Archipel OHT serves the eastern Ottawa region and the United Counties of Prescott-Russell, representing a population of 200,000, 42% of whom are Francophone.
