Mr. Speaker, today I want to talk about an inspiring woman who is having an extremely positive impact on her community. Marie‑Hélène Ross has devoted her energy to the social, cultural and economic development of Beauport for many years.
A lawyer by profession, she has always combined her expertise with a sincere desire to build a stronger and more supportive community. Through her involvement as the president of the Maison des jeunes de Beauport and TRIP Jeunesse Beauport, she has helped generations of young people by offering them a space for personal development and civic engagement.
In the same unifying spirit, she championed the idea of a public market in Old Beauport, which has now become a vibrant non-profit organization. The market promotes buying local, helping others and respecting the environment while creating a unique gathering place for local residents and producers.
She has a record of leadership guided by listening, action and vision. Through her tireless efforts, she has breathed new life into Beauport. Today, she continues to be a model of determination, generosity and perseverance. Many thanks to Marie‑Hélène.
