Marie Houzeau

Knight
2023

A central figure in Montréal's non-profit community, Marie Houzeau is a quiet, generous force to whom partner organizations, elected officials, academics and the media turn for her expertise and enlightened positions.

In her 20-plus years of visionary leadership, she has worked for the growth and renewal of GRIS-Montréal by developing alliances and common actions around shared objectives. Under her leadership, the organization, which is dedicated to a better understanding of sexual and gender diversity, has become a highly respected reference in Montréal as well as nationally and internationally.
