Lefebvre up for distinction award
Former Mayor Peter Trent took time recently from his ongoing battle for municipal demergers to nominate former city councillor Margaret Lefebvre for a 'Woman of Distinction' award from the Women's Y Foundation of Montreal.
The annual awards publicly recognize exceptional Montreal women who have distinguished themselves by their social commitments and their contribution to the advancement of women. There are three finalists in each of 12 categories. Lefebvre was nominated in the Public Affairs category for her work among other involvements as the president of the public think tank the 'Couchiching Institute'. Other contributions to the community include vice president of Alliance Quebec, member of the board of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, and involvement in the opening of Project Chances, an ongoing support home for young single mothers.
The other two contestants in the category are Josee Legault and Jennifer Stoddard. Winners will be announced at a gala dinner on May 1 at the Sheraton Centre. Tickets can be purchased by calling the YWCA at 866-9941 ext. 289.
