Community Award

We are pleased to announce that the 2010 St. Patrick's Society of Montreal Community Award is being presented to Mrs. Margaret Healy!

GUIDELINES
The history of this Award, which was first presented in 1993, indicates two distinct goals:

 To honour a person within the Irish community who has served in low-profile positions yet who has worked wholeheartedly for the good of the whole community.
To honour a Montrealer of Irish descent who has assumed a broader mandate to serve beyond the borders of our local Irish societies. His/her achievements bring honour to us all and it is fitting that we acknowledge such commitment.
