QCGN congratulates Bernard St-Laurent on winning the Award of Excellence from the Commissioner of Official Languages

MONTREAL, Oct. 11, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - The Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) congratulates CBC Broadcaster Bernard St-Laurent on winning the Award of Excellence—Promotion of Linguistic Duality from the Commissioner of Official Languages.

"We think Bernie, as he is known to most of his friends and listeners, is the personification of the award which was created by the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages to honour individuals who promote linguistic duality or who contribute to the development of Canada's official language minority communities," said QCGN President Dan Lamoureux. "In his career as a journalist and broadcaster Bernard St-Laurent has accomplished both of these tasks with authority and style."
