With decades of experience in these fields, he has guided numerous organizations in their development and public positioning. His arrival on the board promises to energize Mira’s initiatives and support the organization’s mission with renewed vision and dedication.

“By joining Mira’s board of directors, I chose to become part of an extraordinary human adventure, created by extraordinary people. It is also a deep commitment to those who, thanks to the magic of a four-legged companion, regain not only their independence but also a new balance in their lives. I am very proud to now be part of this wonderful journey,” said Paul Wilson.

Before joining the Montreal General Hospital Foundation, Margaux Watine gained extensive experience in health philanthropy, notably at the Montreal Heart Institute Foundation and the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation.

“It is with great pride that I join Mira, an organization deeply rooted in the hearts and history of Quebecers. For me, Mira stands out for its authenticity and its significant social impact. I was touched by the organization’s ambitious vision, its determination to make a real difference through guide and service dogs, and the valuable connections it builds within the community. I am honored to support Mira in achieving its major projects and amplifying its essential impact,” added Margaux Watine.

The addition of Paul Wilson and Margaux Watine to the foundation’s board represents an important step for Mira, which is delighted to count on their expertise and commitment to continue its development and increase its impact for the people who rely on its services.
