Many years of volunteer involvement in the community <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After more than 30 years as a volunteer, Max Gagnon is stepping down today. His retirement from volunteer work marks the end of an important chapter, not only for him, but also for all the citizens who have benefited from his dedication, generosity and deep sense of community involvement. His human approach, attentive listening and ability to bring people together made this former community worker a person who is respected and appreciated by all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A heart that beats for its community<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, he has offered his time, energy and expertise to numerous local projects and organizations, making a tangible contribution to the development and vitality of our community. Not only has he worked tirelessly for the Sutton Municipal and School Library, but he has also lent his support to many other citizen initiatives and various cultural and community organizations, such as the Foyer de Sutton, Solidarit\u00e9 environnement Sutton (SES) and the Centre d’action b\u00e9n\u00e9vole de Sutton (CAB). In fact, he was one of the instigators of the CAB’s homework assistance program for young people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above and beyond the countless hours he devoted to volunteering, it is above all Max’s state of mind that deserves praise. Driven by a deep sense of belonging and a sincere desire to contribute to the common good, he inspired others to get involved too, leaving a lasting legacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Huge Thank You<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today, as Max embarks on a new stage in his life, the Town of Sutton would like to express its deepest gratitude. His career is an eloquent example of the impact that volunteer involvement can have on a community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the hope that the memory of his years of involvement will continue to inspire future generations, Sutton says thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
