What is the Pair Program?

The PAIR Program is a FREE automated calling service. PAIR is a daily call service that makes seniors and people at risk living alone feel more secure. These daily calls are reassuring for subscribers and their families. PAIR is offered by several local organizations across Quebec and was created in 1990. Since its launch, this service has made millions of calls and has rescued hundreds of people. Many lives have been saved!

To register online, click HERE. You can also register by filling out the paper form, available here (formulaire-inscription-PAIR.pdf) or at the municipality.

• The PAIR Program is completely free for seniors in Argenteuil; funding comes from the 2019-2023 Crime Prevention Plan;
• Security calls are made between 7:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
• Security calls are always made at the same time;
• If the member does not answer the first time on their call, there are 2 more "attempts" to call the member; Before triggering a PAIR alert, there is an interval of approximately 15 minutes between each attempt. For example, if the member was in the bathroom during their PAIR call, they confirm their presence with the second try, a few minutes later.
• When calling the central, to confirm that the member is okay, he must press a number on the telephone keypad, wait for the thank you message and hang up; it is very important to wait for the thank you message before hanging up.
• If we have an alert, we contact:
  • 1st The member, one last time
  • 2nd His respondents
  • 3rd Emergency services, if we have no answer
• PAIR members are responsible for reporting their absence, if possible 24 hours in advance, by calling the absence number: a voicemail box open 24/7: 1-833-331-7247
