Apollinaire Dubé, Saint-Cyprien, Quebec
Governor General's Caring Canadian Award

Apollinaire Dubé breathes life and a spirit of cooperation into every group he joins. Many organizations have been fortunate enough to benefit from Mr. Dubé's experience, some for more than 50 years. This generous Knight of Columbus will take on any task, from repainting church pews to handing out food hampers and serving on various councils. The leadership qualities of this kind-hearted man have touched the lives of everyone in the Lower St. Lawrence Region, including the Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha! Cooperative, the Cercle des Lacordaires, the St-Cyprien Housing Corporation, the Foyer Beauséjour, and of course his fellow citizens.
