Furthermore, she was the first woman to chair that association, a position she held for 14 years thanks to her hard work, dedication and enthusiasm. In connection with her commitment there, she was also named an honorary member of the Royal 22nd Regiment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1729970\" data-originallang=\"fr\">She was awarded the Quebec National Assembly medal for her accomplishments, a distinction given to exceptional people for their extraordinary achievements or commitment, which is certainly true of Ms. Cyr Demers. It is now time for Ms. Cyr Demers to spend more time with her loved ones, who are the lucky ones, for they can now enjoy her unparalleled altruism even more.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1729971\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ms. Cyr Demers, I join with my constituents in extending our sincere thanks to you.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1729968\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je d\u00e9sire souligner le travail remarquable, \u00e0 titre de b\u00e9n\u00e9vole, de Mme Linda Cyr Demers au sein de la communaut\u00e9 de Terrebonne. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1729969\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mme Cyr Demers a consacr\u00e9 la majeure partie de sa vie active au b\u00e9n\u00e9volat, dont 20 ans \u00e0 l'Amicale des v\u00e9t\u00e9rans de Terrebonne. De surcro\u00eet, elle fut la premi\u00e8re femme \u00e0 si\u00e9ger comme pr\u00e9sidente de l'amicale, \u00e0 la t\u00eate de laquelle elle est demeur\u00e9e 14 ans gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 son travail acharn\u00e9, sa rigueur et son enthousiasme. Parall\u00e8lement \u00e0 cette implication, elle devint \u00e9galement membre honoraire du Royal 22<sup>e</sup> R\u00e9giment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1729970\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ces faits d'armes lui ont valu la m\u00e9daille de l'Assembl\u00e9e nationale, distinction remise \u00e0 des gens d'exception dont les r\u00e9alisations ou l'implication sont hors du commun, cat\u00e9gorie \u00e0 laquelle appartient ind\u00e9niablement Mme Cyr Demers. Il est maintenant temps pour Mme Cyr Demers de retrouver les siens, et ils en seront les grands gagnants puisqu'ils pourront d\u00e9sormais profiter de son altruisme hors pair. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1729971\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame Cyr Demers, au nom de mes concitoyens et en mon nom personnel, je vous dis un sinc\u00e8re merci!</p>"
