Céline Lemay Massicotte, Cap-Santé, Quebec
Governor General's Caring Canadian Award

For over 40 years, Céline Lemay Massicotte has assumed all responsibility in organizing blood donor clinics for Héma-Québec. She is quite engaging and possesses a remarkable ability to rally people together, which may explain why she has always been able to recruit the necessary volunteers and encourage people to donate blood. Ms. Lemay Massicotte's generosity - which also extends to visiting the sick and taking part in activities in her parish - led her to found the Cap-Santé Guides and Jeannettes troop. She also works with the Daughters of Isabella, the Cercle de Fermières and the Canadian Cancer Society, and is always concerned with the happiness and wellness of others.
