For the past decade, Véronique has been involved professionally and as a volunteer in several projects for the education, empowerment, integration and protection of women and children in Canada and Africa. She discovered CCI in 2018 as part of an internship in global citizenship education. A firm believer that citizen engagement and partnership development can create sustainable social and economic development opportunities for all individuals and reduce inequality, she continues to advocate for equal opportunity and fair treatment.
With a Master’s degree in Law and a D.E.S.S. in Business Administration, Véronique is now a partner in a technology and business growth consulting firm. She wishes to continue her involvement with CCI in order to contribute to the achievement of its mission and to support projects that have a direct impact on the community.
Hélène Hélias is an engineer specializing in urban resilience and environmental issues. After earning her engineering degree in France and completing a master’s in urban infrastructure engineering at ÉTS, she has dedicated her career to supporting municipalities in adopting sustainable solutions, particularly in the areas of water management and natural resource preservation.
Deeply attuned to both social and environmental issues, Hélène is actively involved in initiatives aimed at improving the living conditions of vulnerable communities. She regularly contributes to projects that promote inclusive and sustainable development. Guided by these values, she is committed to engaging in solidarity-driven actions, seeking to combine her technical expertise with her dedication to causes that are close to her heart.
Amanda is a graduate of Concordia University’s Bachelor of International Studies program and has extensive experience in administration and administrative procedures, finance and customer service. She is currently employed at Maples Group. Taking initiative, multi-tasking and building strong interpersonal relationships are responsibilities she is committed to in her personal and professional life. Having volunteered in the international and local field, Amanda is looking to get involved at a higher level of impact.
CCI’s mission is aligned with her values and worldview and that is what made her want to be part of this team. Caring for the most vulnerable, especially our children, is very important to her, as their development and engagement is key to our future. Amanda believes in the power of cooperation, partnerships and international aid to propel all efforts towards world peace and being a member of CCI’s Board of Directors gives her the chance to contribute to this.
Formerly communications agent for CCI, Monica decided to continue her involvement by joining the Board of Directors. She is particularly interested in justice and social equity. She believes deeply in the importance of educating young people about global citizenship in order to advance our society.
Monica holds a Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations from the Université du Québec à Montréal and is particularly interested in justice and social equity. In her opinion, these two values should be put forward for everyone. She believes deeply in the importance of educating young people about global citizenship in order to advance our society.
Lyne has been involved with CCI for many years and has decided to become more involved in CCI’s daily life by becoming an administrator. A teacher at Saint-Laurent High School for 27 years, she shares with her students her interest in the situation of children around the world. In addition to raising awareness, Lyne offers solutions to fight against child exploitation. In fact, she has set up and managed a fair trade store in her school for several years to teach students about the positive effects of responsible consumption on vulnerable populations. Joining the Board of Directors is an opportunity for her to reaffirm her commitment against child exploitation in the world by sharing her determination and skills with the CCI team.
Retired from a United Nations agency for several years, Hélène now works for various NGOs as a consultant or volunteer, most recently in publishing, translation and special events. Having lived outside of Canada for quite some time, as well as visited and worked in several developing countries, she maintains that if everyone took the trouble to get involved – even a little bit – this world would be more child-friendly and certainly more promising. As a mother of three and grandmother of seven, she firmly believes that the kind of future we enjoy will depend not only on the education the world’s children receive, but more importantly on how they are treated now.
