My background is in academia and have been involved in community issues as a committed student activist for many years. I was and still am passionate about sociology. Equipped with a PhD, I have conducted several university research projects. I have been a consultant in social and community development for various municipalities and taught at the college level. With my passion for community involvement and citizen participation, I am particularly delighted to be part of the CAB Sutton team! In my role at the CAB I organize and direct a range of activities and services offered to people of all ages, and coordinate projects, such as the Intergenerational Garden. I engage in advocacy efforts with local and regional partners and support the daily management of our organization. Finally, I help ensure the financial health of the organization and manage human ressources.

My family and I settled into this beautiful region a few years ago and I love it here! What better way to spend my time than to support the community that has welcomed me and which I have adopted.
My role at the CAB is to meet persons that are interested in volunteering with us and to support those who already give us their time. Most of our services are volunteer based. I marvel at the generosity of people and the lovely friendships that arise while supporting our community.

Having grown up in the Eastern Townships and once a resident of Sutton, I am excited to be back and working for the CAB and for the community. My role at the CAB is to support the management team and my colleagues in the various administrative tasks, as well as providing support during activities that take place. I am grateful to be a part of such an incredible team. I look forward to meeting you!

Service Leaders
Lina Allard
Sutton has been my home for 50 years and for the past 7 years I have coordinated the distribution of the Meals on Wheels program for residents in Sutton and Abercorn. Volunteering is an anchor that keeps us grounded and helps us better understand the community in which we live.
Louise Comtois
I have been living full time in Sutton since 2005, fulfilling a childhood dream. I have always loved Sutton, its mountains, its countryside, its rivers, its village and its people. Fortunately, I had the chance to settle here shortly before my retirement. As a teacher specializing in visual impairment and mother of two boys, I immediately wanted to get involved when the CAB started a project to help students at the Sutton school with their homework. I have had the pleasure of "volunteering"
since the very beginning and have found it very satisfying and enjoyable. I continue this involvement by accepting the role of head of the organization but I still enjoy the contact with the students by occasionally replacing the volunteers who are absent.
Françoise Lépine
I grew up in Joliette, studied in Montreal, and worked in Montreal and Philadelphia as an electrical and lighting designer in engineering firms. As the Food Bank coordinator, I am responsible for the smooth delivery of the service, with the help of a team of 4 amazing volunteers. Volunteering keeps my eyes and mind open to the world, allows me to share memorable moments with people in my community, and keeps me mentally and physically fit while meeting new people.
Maaike Zuyderhoff
I was born in the Netherlands and have lived in Sutton since I was a child. Volunteering has always been a big part of my life and I am now the coordinator of the collective kitchen at the CAB. During our collective kitchen sessions I learn about people, food, and much more. I love group activities as much as the time alone!
