Memorable Moments
Among the more remarkable events, we would be remiss not to
mention the tenacity of André Bérard, who was then president of
the National Bank of Canada. He had agreed to be our conference
speaker. On the scheduled date for his presentation, Mr. Bérard was
hospitalized with heart problems, but he was intent on honouring
his commitment. So his driver picked him up at the hospital to
bring him to the conference. Mr. Bérard gave his speech—with
a catheter in his arm—and when his presentation was over, he
returned to the hospital to continue his convalescence.
We are also very proud of the fact that we hosted Sheila Fraser as
a speaker in March 2004, when she was Auditor General of Canada.
She had just published her “sponsorship” report three months ear-
lier. This luncheon presentation was a very popular event.
The Montreal Chapter was officially relaunched on June 9, 1999. Launch
Committe members were (l-r) Luc Gauvin, Jean Genest, Denis Pelletier
(Chair), Maryse Charbonneau, Martin Santoire, Sophie de Courval, Mario B.
Roy, Adriana Mastrostefano, and Josée Corbeil. Absent: Chantal Marcotte.
