ASALUTETONORMANBOUDREAU

As we compiled updates from our RP-CWY participants, we continue to discover the accomplishments of past participants who carried on
the ideals of Canada World Youth, making a difference in the fields they have chosen, impacted the communities they lived in and those
whose lives they have affected. Every month, we will honor these individuals. This month we salute:


                                      NORMAN BOUDREAU, RP-CWY 1981-82
                                       (Children's Rights Advocacy)

      Norman is a lawyer married to Angela, also a lawyer and they have a 12-year-old daughter. They
also have 3 dogs and 2 cats. In his role as lawyer, he carries on a varied civil litigation practice with the
firm Booth Dennehy LLP, of which he is a managing partner.

      Originally from Montreal, he first came to know and enjoy Winnipeg through participation in the
Canada World Youth Program and the adventure in Manitoba and the Philippines that it gave him. He
returned to Winnipeg to obtain his Bachelor of Education at the College Saint Boniface and then taught
French immersion in Winnipeg prior to pursuing a legal education. Further to graduating from the
University of Ottawa Faculty of Common Law (French Program), completing his articles in Ottawa and
passing the Bars of both Ontario and Manitoba in 1996, he returned to Manitoba. Here, he has the
privilege of practicing law in both official languages for the past 12 years.

      Aside from the practice of law, he devotes a significant amount of his time to children's rights
advocacy and other community-based activities. He is highly involved in Beyond Borders Inc., a national
organization comprised exclusively of volunteers that work to raise awareness of, and advance the rights
of children to gain freedom from, sexual exploitation on a national and global scale. As Vice-President of
Beyond Borders, he serves many functions in his role as advocate. Notably, in both 2003 and 2005 he
presented both oral and written submissions to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice
and Human Rights on legislative matters pertaining to child sexual exploitation.

      In addition to his volunteer advocacy work, he acts in a decision-making capacity as a member of
the hearing panel roster under the Vulnerable Persons Living With a Mental Disability Act. He is the
President of Franco-Manitoban Business Association. In recent years, he served as the Treasurer and
Vice-President of the Association des Juristes d'Expression Francaise du Manitoba. He also served as
both Vice-President and President of Robert H. Smith Child Care Inc. He is presently involved in a
number of claims, class action and other legal challenges in Manitoba.

      "Today (Feb. 28, 2008) is a huge day for Beyond Borders. After years of lobbying, Canada raised the
age of consent to sexual consent from 14 to 16 years old. This is a huge protection for Canadian children.
Canada ’s age of sexual consent was one of the lowest in the world. To find out more about Beyond
Borders please visit www.beyondborders.org."
