As part of the 25th awards ceremony for the 2024 Hommage Aînés Awards, seniors from each region of Quebec were honored for their exceptional volunteer commitment.
Amélie Dionne, MP for Rivière-du-Loup–Témiscouata (including Les Basques), would like to congratulate Madame Juette Rioux, from Trois-Pistoles, who distinguished herself in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region through her remarkable contribution to the community and its efforts to promote the well-being of seniors.
Ms. Rioux has 20 years of volunteering in various community organizations in her region, working in particular to fight against mistreatment and build a caring environment. Whether on the Caisse Desjardins supervisory committee, at the Optimist Club of Trois-Pistoles, at the Cercle des Fermières de Trois-Pistoles, on the awareness and information committee to counter mistreatment or as president of the Center for assistance to caregivers of the Basques (CAPAB), it is a true source of inspiration for new generations. The quality and diversity of her involvement, her vision, as well as her ability to anticipate the needs of the seniors she supports make her an exemplary model for the entire community.
Madame Rioux’s journey, accomplishments and determination make her a model for the entire community. I thank her for her remarkable commitment, highlighted during this 25th Senior Tribute Prize. She invests herself with heart and energy in her community, and this recognition is fully deserved,” adds MP Dionne.
The mayor of Trois-Pistoles, Philippe Guilbert, also congratulates and thanks Madame Rioux for this award, which is well deserved and affirms that it is a source of pride for the entire population to have such a dedicated volunteer in their community.
