Lam\u00e8que, October 23, 2025 \u2013 A reception was held Friday October 3 in honour of Marie-Jeanne No\u00ebl, to highlight her exemplary commitment. Various dignitaries and guests were there to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A woman of heart and action, Marie-Jeanne No\u00ebl is a well-known figure in the Lam\u00e8que region. Over the years, countless causes and community organizations have benefited from her commitment as a volunteer. With her boundless enthusiasm and infectious energy, her profound contribution deserves to be publicly recognized and honoured. The Fondation de l’H\u00f4pital de Lam\u00e8que Inc. is one of the causes close to her heart and to which she has dedicated many hours of her time. \u201cIn June 2022, I saw some information on the Internet about the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers. When I read the nomination criteria for this honorary distinction, one name immediately came to mind: Marie-Jeanne No\u00ebl. As Chair of the Foundation, I took the initiative of nominating her for this medal,” explained Norma Aubut, Chair of the Lam\u00e8que Hospital and CHC Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers is a recognition program offered by the Governor General of Canada. According to official documentation, the medal recognizes the exceptional volunteer achievements of Canadians from across the country in a wide range of fields and pays tribute to the dedication and commitment of volunteers. They embody the caring country we aspire to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following text will be published on the webpage of the Governor General of Canada, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Marie-Jeanne No\u00ebl has been fully devoted to community service since 1974. Whether leading fundraising campaigns like the Roses Radiothon or organizing the Relay for Life, she has been the driving force behind countless initiatives. Her leadership has extended to cultural, business and social organizations, always bringing people together around a common purpose and passion.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several people spoke in turn about the impact of her commitment. The Honourable Lyne Chantal Boudreau, Minister responsible for Seniors and Women\u2019s Equality, was also present. A native of the region, she described Marie-Jeanne No\u00ebl as a constant source of inspiration and, like several other speakers, highlighted the mentoring role she has played over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission of the Lam\u00e8que Hospital and CHC Foundation is to improve health care by funding the acquisition of medical equipment and supporting initiatives that promote patient well-being. Every donation transforms lives and strengthens access to quality care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
