In September 2019, the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) held two Changes of Command Ceremonies in the region of Quebec.
On September 17, 2019, at Drummond Institution, the outgoing Warden, Marc Lanoie, relinquished command to the incoming Warden, Sébastien Pilon.
On September 18, 2019, at Cowansville Institution, the outgoing Warden, and now Regional Deputy Commissioner, Alessandria Page, relinquished command to incoming Warden, Francis Anctil.
This ceremony reinforces the responsibility of leadership in the role of the Warden of each Institution. It represents the symbolic passing of responsibility, authority, and accountability from one correctional leader to another.
This ceremony is an important tradition for CSC. It reaffirms the incoming leader's pledge to support CSC's mission and contribute to the safety and security of the public, employees and offenders.
