When the sky gets dark, and your worries weigh you down, there is always someone close by to help you. This person who crossed my path, this dependable man who is a constant source of support taught me how to keep my head up high. Jean-Pierre Naud contributed countless hours to our workers’ organization. He made a distinct impact on the Quebec region, following in the significant footsteps of his predecessor Bernard Labonté, who was named a lifetime member of our union. He easily filled the shoes of this great man. Retirement smiled upon this accessible and generous man.
The regional executive had the honour of celebrating his contributions at a dinner on June 6 at the restaurant St-Bernard near Mont Ste-Anne.
I have no doubt that my union brothers and sisters will join me in wishing him the best for this next great adventure. Thank you for everything, Brother Naud!
Happy retirement – you’ve earned it!
