Spreading the word
Meet the Ambassadors
Benoit Gagnon

“It’s natural for me to give back to children. In life, not everyone starts from the same point. Raising public awareness of the Club’s work and the children’s plight is crucial, and I’m happy to contribute as much as I can to spreading the word.”
Laurent Paquin

“When I went to serve breakfast at a participating school, it was like a community celebration, with everyone pitching in. The Club is contributing to a better future, and the ripple effects are everywhere in society.”
Elizabeth Hosking

“This cause is dear to me because there was a breakfast program at my elementary school. The opportunity to sit down with your class and eat the same meal as your classmates can change children’s lives. I’ve seen it first-hand. I wanted to get involved because it’s important to feel that way, to feel included.”
Geneviève Everell
PRESIDENT & CHEF/OWNER OF SUSHI À LA MAISON FORMER CLUB MEMBER
“For me, the existence of my club was a real BLESSING! “Looking back, I’m very grateful to the Club and its donors for their support. You gave me a chance at a crucial time in my life.”
Dr. Stephanie Liu
FAMILY PHYSICIAN
“As a doctor, I know that eating breakfast has long-term physical, mental and educational benefits for children. Research shows that a balanced breakfast not only fuels the body and brain, which promotes learning, but also helps improve eating habits, physical activity and self-esteem. I truly believe that when we start our day right, we’re setting ourselves up for a healthy future.”
Ari Cui Cui/Ariane Gauthier

Lindsey Butterworth & Justin Kent
ATHLETES & RUNNERS
“I’m passionate about promoting health, and I’m interested in food as a vehicle for encouraging young people to adopt healthy habits. Through my involvement with the Club, I want to continue promoting and supporting the accessibility of breakfast programs across Canada.” – Lindsey “I believe it’s important to ensure young people have equal access to the right food. I grew up in Surrey, British Columbia, where I witnessed the impact of a breakfast program at an inner-city school. I hope to help change things, so that young people have the energy they need to pursue their goals. No one should be forced to pursue their dreams on an empty stomach.” – Justin
Kevin Sin
Comedian and Actor
“In 1997, my family and I arrived in Quebec as war refugees. At that time, I was fortunate enough to benefit from my elementary school’s breakfast program. Today, as a grateful citizen for the opportunities I’ve been given, I can attest to the impact of Breakfast Club of Canada on my own life and on future generations.”
Olivier Louissaint
Chef, columnist and host
“It’s important for me to join my voice to the Club, because it’s an organization that not only fills the bellies of thousands of young people across the country, but also brings smiles and hope. It’s a mission that’s close to my heart, because these young people are tomorrow’s future.”
