Lieutenant Governor honours community leaders

The Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, Michel Doyon, was in Sherbrooke on Sunday afternoon to present the Lieutenant Governor's Medal to 42 individuals from the region in recognition of outstanding contributions to their communities. “Your implication, engagement, and generousity mark the way for all those who will follow in your footsteps,” Doyon said, adding that without the 28 students and 14 seniors receiving the medals, the towns and cities in which they live would be very different places. Three levels of award were given out by the Lieutenant Governor. The first, the bronze, is specifically for students under 29 years of aged who have distinguished themselves in a recognized educational institution through not just academic success, but sustained and inspiring community and social involvement. Among the recipients of this medal on Sunday were Bradley Daignault of Alexander Galt Regional High School and Taylor Dubois of Richmond Regional High School as well as Ignacia Cabrera and William Savary of Champlain College.
