Having retired from the healthcare system where she worked for more than 40 years as a professional and manager, Pauline Fortin committed herself with the Board of Directors of La Soupière de l’Amitié de Gatineau in 2019.
Created in 1986, La Soupière de l’Amitié de Gatineau Inc. is a non-profit organization of the Vieux-Gatineau (Gatineau Mills) whose main objective is to fight poverty and social exclusion by offering meals and support to people living in poverty.
With a Master’s Degree in Public Administration, Mrs. Fortin has collaborated with the community sector for almost 15 years, as public health manager in the Ottawa Valley, and the coordinator of the project leading to the introduction of social development and community development orientations for the CISSS de l’Outaouais (Integrated Health and Social Services Centre of the Ottawa Valley).
Mrs. Fortin has been serving as a representative of member organizations on the Board of Directors of Moisson Outaouais since 2022.
