As TALQ marks its 30th anniversary, it turned the spotlight on the people who have shaped the vitality of English-speaking Quebec. On November 13th, through 30for30, TALQ recognized 30 individuals whose leadership, creativity, and dedication have strengthened their communities across the province. Amongst the 30, were our very own MCW Honourary Lifetime Member, Maria Peluso, and MCW VP Programming, Antonia Macris.

We are very proud to honour Maria and Antonia as outstanding leaders whose passion and perseverance continue to shape Quebec’s English-speaking community. Their efforts remind us that local leadership creates lasting change — one project, one person, one community at a time.

Also, if you have access to them, we encourage you to keep an eye out for these publications which have an insert celebrating this initiative; thanks to the support the Quebec Community Newspaper Association:
