She has reportedly distinguished herself in other projects as well, such as the Podcasts on One City, Two Realities (Une ville, deux réalités), produced by the Association Canadienne-française (ACFO) Mille-Îles.
“Alexane’s determination, perseverance and path are inspiring for the CEPEO school community and for young Francophones across the country. She is a fine example of excellence,” said Director of Education Sylvie C.R. Tremblay
