Diane Groleau
Administrative assistant
Diane loves to say that the only thing you need to make yourself look younger… is a smile! She knows first hand how much her smile positively affects those around her. Whether it be for clients or colleagues, she always creates a pleasant work environment. This can easily make the difference between the good or bad day.
When she was young, Diane dreamed of being a chartered accountant. If she had done so, she would have missed out on a job that she loves because of all the different tasks she gets to carry out for clients. While accounting and administration is part of it, what she loves most is being a part of the dynamic CJE team in HSF!

Ginette Jolin
On t’accompagne Coordinator
Ginette has been trying to retire for the last 7 years, operative word being “trying”… Open and devoted, she really cares about the young people she is helping to succeed in their lives. All you have to do is call and she’ll come running, ready with the best solution possible. But, we’ve also discovered she has a few vices: ice cream in the summer, chips in the winter and chocolate all year round…
When she was young, she dreamed of becoming a graphic arts teacher, but her affinity for helping took precedence over her artistic talent—a loss for fine arts is a gain for humanity. Still young, and with her head in the clouds, she truly loves her work and her colleagues. She’s therefore forbidden to ever give notice.
