LEAF is pleased to announce our guest speaker for this year’s national Persons Day Breakfast – The Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean – Canada’s 27th Governor General. In this role, Ms. Jean was a charismatic presence both in Canada and abroad, who worked tirelessly to advance the plight of women, especially on her 2007 visit to Afghanistan, timed to coincide with International Women’s Day.
In the years since leaving office, Madame Jean has continued to represent Canadians faithfully, acting in her role as UN Special Envoy to Haiti as well as Chancellor of the University of Ottawa; slated to start in the coming weeks.
As we look forward to our Persons Day Breakfast, to be held once again at the Fairmont Royal York, on Tuesday, October 16th, 2012, LEAF will be profiling the work of Ms. Jean, including her dynamic time as Governor General, her involvement with a variety of women’s organizations and her ongoing international work.
We are honoured to have her attend and we hope you will join us to hear this incredible woman speak.
