These awards, started in 2015, are presented by the Loran Scholars Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, the foundation offers $100,000 scholarships to young Canadians who show strength of character and leadership potential. These 4-year scholarships give access to University education and allow students to focus on their studies, not on how they will pay for school.<\/p>\n<p>Four years ago, St. Lawrence student Maryna Karpenko was selected as a Loran Scholar from a pool of over 5,000 candidates from across Canada. She has since graduated from McGill University with a Bachelor of Commerce, greatly assisted by the support this scholarship provides. This year, she nominated her former teacher Suzanne Lemay for a Teachers Building Leaders Award.<\/p>\n<p>This award, co-sponsored by the McCall MacBain Foundation, recognizes teachers who have played an important role in the development of young leaders at different points in their educational journeys. Lemay is the first St. Lawrence teacher to receive this award.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"blockquote\">\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSuzanne is an exceptional teacher,\u201d Maryna shares, \u201cwho developed in me a love and a deep respect for the French language\u201d. Lemay\u2019s creative approach to teaching and focus on cultural learning has a big impact, says Maryna. \u201cHer teaching methods, her passion, and her selection of literature and works\u201d were \u201ccaptivating\u201d, stresses the former student. She feels \u201cextreme gratitude for [Lemay\u2019s] character and her teaching\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>While Maryna was not available to visit her alma mater to present Lemay with the award, the pair did have a chance to meet for coffee, which was \u201creally great\u201d, says Lemay.<\/p>\n<p>We extend our congratulations to both women for this great honour.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2460\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2460\" style=\"width: 1707px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2459 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6h2a4016-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Suzanne Lemay receives the award from Director of the Constituent College Edward Berryman.\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6h2a4016-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6h2a4016-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6h2a4016-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6h2a4016-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6h2a4016-1400x2100.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6h2a4016-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6h2a4016-480x720.jpg 480w, https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6h2a4016-350x525.jpg 350w, https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6h2a4016-150x225.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1707px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1707\/2560;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2460\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Suzanne Lemay receives the award from Director of the Constituent College Edward Berryman.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2460,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[102],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-reconnaissance-des-employes-fr"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slc.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
