Twenty years ago, the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean made history as Canada’s first Black woman to serve as Governor General. Over the years, she has led transformative initiatives across the country and has inspired countless individuals. Come mark this special occasion as we celebrate her transformative work with the Foundation throughout the years, and the enduring impact it continues to have.

A celebration of art as a catalyst for change, with distinguished guests, live musical performances, and a vin d’honneur cocktail reception.


Il y a vingt ans, la très honorable Michaëlle Jean entrait dans l’histoire en devenant la première femme noire à occuper le poste de gouverneure générale du Canada. Au fil des années, elle a mené des initiatives transformatrices à travers le pays et inspiré d’innombrables personnes. Venez marquer cette occasion spéciale alors que nous célébrons son œuvre transformative au sein de la Fondation au fil des ans, ainsi que l’impact durable qu’elle continue d’exercer.

Une célébration de l’art comme catalyseur de changement, avec des invités de marque, des prestations musicales en direct et un cocktail vin d’honneur.
