West Island Gazette - Pointe Claire teen honoured for her work with Free the Children

Even though she’s only 19-years-old, Kimberly Fortin has worked to benefit Free the Children for more than seven years. And even though the Pointe Claire teen never expected her work with Cedar Park’s Youth in Action group of Free the Children to garner any recognition, she was nevertheless recently recognized as one of Canada’s Top Ten Teen Philanthropists.

“I feel honoured …,” said Fortin, a first-year student at McGill University in International Development and African Studies, said of the award she received in late December from  Mackenzie Investments in its  third annual national search for teen philanthropists.
