Gino Chouinard, who has been at the helm of “Salut Bonjour” for 20 years, didn’t know and was very surprised. The entire team came by to congratulate and applaud him.
This medal is awarded to people or organizations who have carried out exemplary work in the cultural, sporting, social or entrepreneurial fields for the benefit of their community and who deserve the recognition of their parliamentarian.
It is Nathalie Roy, President of the National Assembly and Member of Parliament for Montarville, who wants to give him this honor.
“A natural facilitator, his entire career as a communicator has been focused on respect and kindness. For more than 30 years, this presenter knows how to maintain the love rating of the audience. “It is our turn to show our gratitude to him with this decoration,” emphasizes Ms. Roy in the press release.
The medal will be awarded at an official ceremony in May 2024 at Parliament House.
Over the years, Gino Chouinard has always enjoyed great popularity among audiences, winning 14 Artis trophies as best presenter in the Service Show category.
