Embrun
Isabelle Boulerice-Leblanc, of Embrun, was appointed to the Ontario Arts Council (OAC) board of directors in August 2023.
Isabelle has been a teacher with the Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario (Eastern Ontario French Public School Board) since 1996. Her patience, creativity, adaptability and passion for teaching motivates her to create a caring learning environment that fosters the academic, social and emotional growth of her students.
For the past five years, Isabelle has held the position of resource teacher, providing support and guidance to students with special learning needs. She is an active member of her school’s “équipe de la réussite” (success team), where she works with colleagues to find innovative approaches that help students achieve their full potential.
Isabelle’s community involvement began as her two children (now grown) pursued their interests. Her daughter’s passion for dance led her to join the board of directors of the Maison des Arts in Embrun, a Franco-Ontarian cultural center offering a wide range of arts activities and courses, including music, dance, singing and visual art.
