After more than four years at the SHDM and 35 years of an impressive career at Ville de Montréal and CMHC, outgoing Director General, Johanne Goulet, takes her bow today to retire.
Underlining her tremendous contribution to the Corporation’s development, Johanne Brunet, Chair of SHDM’s Board of Directors, said: « In recent years, Ms. Goulet has directed the corporation brilliantly. Her vision, indelible commitment to organizational performance and rigour were key milestones in the evolution of the operation and governance of the Corporation. She was able to position the Corporation with a strategic plan that focuses on responsible property investment; this has greatly contributed to the emergence of new projects, including the Îlot Balmoral, and several accredited Accès Condos projects, while enabling the consolidation of the Corporation’s rental housing offer and the creation of innovative partnerships in housing, culture and social development. «
« The subtle mix of determination, intelligence and heart which Johanne Goulet has demonstrated in each of the issues she dealt with, particularly the revival of the Faubourg Contrecoeur project, has left its mark on the Corporation, » said Ms. Brunet before concluding: « For all that, and for so many other accomplishments, the Board of Directors and the entire team of the SHDM join me in wishing her the best for her well-deserved retirement. »
