| Background: | Established in 1961, the Fondation J.-Louis LŽvesque has had a major impact on university teaching and research in Canada. The Foundation has provided tens of millions of dollars in financial aid while supporting faculty research and networking in over fifteen universities across Eastern Canada and Quebec.

Suzanne LŽvesque has been the driving force behind the creation of a network of exceptional researchers and professors who, for decades, have formed an extraordinary scientific community. Ms. LŽvesque has demonstrated her deep conviction that education and research broaden horizons. Ms. LŽvesque holds Honorary Doctorates from the Universite? de Moncton (1998), University of Prince Edward Island (2006) and Universite? Sainte-Anne in Nova Scotia (2011). In 2023 the Fondation J.-Louis LŽvesque broadened the areas of support to the University of Prince Edward Island to include any health-related field. |
