Ms. Landry is a decorated and sought-after community leader in Quebec’s Eastern Townships where she has advocated for better health and palliative care, stronger local businesses and healthy community development.

In 2015 Ms. Landry was awarded the keys to the City of Cowansville and named Personality of the Year by the community of Brome-Missisquoi.
