666. No one may operate a facility or engage in an activity under a name containing the words “youth centre”, “local community service centre”, “hospital centre”, “hospital”, “child and youth protection centre”, “social service centre”, “residential and long-term care centre”, “rehabilitation centre”, “health and social services centre”, “seniors home”, “alternative home” or “reception centre” unless they hold an authorization for the operation of a private institution.

The first paragraph does not prevent the use, in the name of a foundation of an institution within the meaning of section 120, of the institution’s name, or the use of the words “veterinary hospital” in a name. Nor does the first paragraph prevent the use of the words listed in it in the name of a person or group whose activities are not likely to be confused with the activities inherent in those carried on within an institution, provided that Santé Québec’s authorization has been obtained.

The prohibition set out in the first paragraph does not apply to Santé Québec or to grouped institutions.
