The Montreal Fire Department’s French only website is promoting “la grande evacuation” taking place on October 12, 2011.  The Quebec Minister of Public Safety only has this information in French as well.

I was able to find this information in English, although it does not pertain to the events happening on October 12: Your Home Evacuation Plan – Fire Prevention - Ministère de la Sécurité publique.

What a shame that these major government departments, and the Quebec Government in general, still cannot understand the importance of communicating with Quebec’s English-speaking population (who pay the same taxes as all Quebecers but obviously receive less service).
