Centre de la petite enfance Mini-Coco, the JardinsFleuris Youth Centre, the Habitation équerres et des

INDIVIDUAL PROFILE – NORMAND COUTURE
Who is this reserved, timid man who evades
honours bestowed on him for his
great devotion to others and
to the entire community?
None other than
Normand Couture,
remarkable volunteer
and resident of the
borough’s Dubreuil
sector. We can’t
speak highly enough
of him, even if he
doesn’t want to hear
it…
The borough wishes to
highlight the involvement of
this great volunteer – on behalf of
the whole community and the many organizations
who have benefited from his grand generosity and
the support he has lent to causes which he has
made it his job to defend.
It’s quite an understatement to say that Normand is
very involved. He is helpful, responsible, a man of
integrity who is devoted and demanding of himself
and satisfied with nothing less than a job well done.
A father of four and grandfather of two, he is valued
by all those around him; when describing him, his
wife Diane says she feels like she won the lottery.
But Normand is not content just to share all these
attributes with his family and co-workers; the whole
community has benefited from his efforts, including:
• The Ligue de fer du parc du Debonair
• Les Chevaliers de Colomb – Conseil 9086
• Le Syndicat des cols bleus
• The Journée de la famille de l’arrondissement de
Fleurimont
• The Carnaval de l’arrondissement de Fleurimont
• The Festival des traditions du monde
• The Clinique de sang
• L’Assomptival
• Some electoral campaigns
Retirement? No time even to think about it. In
addition to his volunteer activities this nature lover
enjoys hiking, snowshoeing, biking, rollerblading and
skating.
On behalf of the entire community THANK YOU
Normand, for this legacy you leave to all those who
know you. We hope that you will remain involved
with our organizations – you are a true pillar of the
community. Your mere presence in these groups
gives them reassurance as well as bringing success
and prosperity. BRAVO!
Normand has been a City of Sherbrooke employee
since 1976. This team manager at the signage and
snow removal branch of the Division de la voirie et
des parcs never hesitates to lend a hand to
members of his team.
