Prior to 1947, there was no system of supports in Canada or the United States for children with intellectual disabilities. At that time, children with an I.Q. less than 50 were not allowed to attend school. The only option provided was institutionalism.Donald Frisby was a teacher at Queen Elizabeth Public School in Kirkland Lake and one of his responsibilities was to administer I.Q. tests and, by law, he was to exclude those who tested at less than 50. He found this very upsetting and became convinced that something had to be done.A committee was formed and through persistence, the Premier of Ontario authorized an experimental class in Kirkland Lake with a grant of $10 per month per pupil. On April 14, 1947, the class opened in the basement of the Trinity Church.Over the next few years, the Ontario Association for Retarded Children was formed and 8 chartered organizations across Ontario had joined. Our organization became the ninth chartered member and in 1953, Kirkland Lake was able to send voting members to the first meeting of the Ontario Association for the Mentally Retarded in Toronto

At the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting, which took place on June 12 and 13 in Saguenay, I was elected president of the Réseau FADOQ. I first want to express my personal happiness and pride at heading the largest organization of seniors in Quebec and across Canada. I completed a career in the education sector as both a high school and elementary school teacher, then served as a pedagogical advisor and school principal. In total, I've spent 34 years developing learning. It is with a great deal of professionalism and rigour that I will put my abilities and experience to use to benefit all members of the Réseau FADOQ.I am known for my listening, action, transparency, approachability and hands-on approach. For the past four years, I have been president of the FADOQ –Mauricie region. In my time with the Réseau FADOQ, I have served on several committees and my primary concern has always been to provide hope to Quebecers aged 50 and over so they can enjoy a better quality of life.
