An Introduction and invitation from MARL’s new President Estelle Lamoureux

Greetings. I am a continuing member of MARL’s board of directors and am happy to be taking on the role of president this year. I am currently the principal of Collège Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau, a French immersion UNESCO high school in Winnipeg. The path that I have journeyed to where I am today has been filled with miracles and wonderful adventures. Almost every step of the way has led me towards children and education and that is what inevitably brought me to MARL. I truly believe it is our responsibility to make sure that the next generation has a voice and informed voice on human rights.
