A Valuable Addition to Our Board of Directors: Welcome, Paul!
We are filled with joy to welcome Mr. Paul Senécal to our Board of Directors! His exceptional life journey and unwavering determination are a constant source of inspiration, resonating deeply with our organization's mission. His presence on the board will strengthen our governance and enhance our ability to achieve our goals. "Around the age of 3 or 4, after I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, members of my extended family advised my parents to place me in a residential facility. Instead, my parents reacted by enrolling me in, among other things, swimming lessons, elocution classes, and even ballet! All these activities, along with my many visits to Expo 67, meant I was fully ready to start school in a regular classroom. This led me to surpass all expectations, ultimately earning a university degree, thus defying the prognoses I'd heard about myself as a child. It's for these reasons, in addition to my parents' perseverance and my own determination to succeed, that I am involved in this wonderful project that is FSWC Québec. It aims to support many people by helping them overcome obstacles and, often, to exceed goals far beyond what they could have imagined." - Paul Senécal |
