A Well-Deserved Honour for Geneviève Fecteau: A Woman at the Heart of Volunteering

Some people make a profound impact without ever seeking the spotlight.
Geneviève Fecteau is one of them.

The Volunteer Bureau of Montreal (VBM) is proud to announce that our Executive Director, Geneviève Fecteau, has been awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal.
More than a symbolic honour, this prestigious recognition highlights the dedication, compassion, and leadership of a woman who has devoted her career to strengthening community ties and advancing the cause of volunteerism.

A Vision Rooted in Humanity

For many years, Geneviève has embodied the core values of the CABM: solidarity, inclusion, recognition, and collective impact. She leads with heart, brings people together, and inspires those around her with her genuine care and unwavering commitment. Her leadership is grounded in listening, empathy, and a strong belief that every act of kindness contributes to building a better world.

Through her vision and tireless efforts, Geneviève helps create stronger, more compassionate communities and gives deep meaning to the spirit of volunteering.

National Recognition for Community Leadership
