Montreal PWHL captain Marie-Philip Poulin and TV personality Véronique Cloutier are among 28 people named to the Ordre national du Québec.
The order honours those who “have contributed, in their own way, to shaping Quebec,” since its creation in 1984. The ceremony will be held June 19 at the National Assembly’s agora with Premier François Legault, and broadcast on television by the National Assembly channel.
