Figure marquante de la r\u00e9gion du Saguenay\u2013Lac\u2011Saint\u2011Jean, Jeanne L.\u202fBlackburn incarne un parcours inspirant fond\u00e9 sur l\u2019\u00e9ducation, la justice sociale et le sens du devoir. Issue d\u2019un milieu modeste, elle amorce d\u00e8s l\u2019\u00e2ge de 19\u202fans une carri\u00e8re en enseignement qu\u2019elle exercera pendant pr\u00e8s de trente ans, aupr\u00e8s des jeunes comme des adultes, notamment dans les commissions scolaires de Chicoutimi et de Jonqui\u00e8re. Profond\u00e9ment engag\u00e9e dans l\u2019\u00e9ducation des adultes, elle d\u00e9fend une vision humaniste de l\u2019apprentissage comme levier d\u2019\u00e9mancipation, d\u2019autonomie et de dignit\u00e9. Parall\u00e8lement, son implication au sein du mouvement syndical, notamment \u00e0 la Centrale de l\u2019enseignement du Qu\u00e9bec, forge sa conscience sociale et renforce son engagement en faveur de l\u2019\u00e9quit\u00e9 et de la solidarit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

En 1985, Jeanne\u202fL.\u202fBlackburn entre en politique et devient la premi\u00e8re femme \u00e9lue d\u00e9put\u00e9e de la circonscription de Chicoutimi, un jalon important tant pour la r\u00e9gion que pour la repr\u00e9sentation des femmes en politique qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise. R\u00e9\u00e9lue \u00e0 deux reprises, elle repr\u00e9sente sa population pendant treize ann\u00e9es avec rigueur, int\u00e9grit\u00e9 et proximit\u00e9. Nomm\u00e9e en 1994 ministre de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 du revenu et ministre responsable de la Condition f\u00e9minine, elle se distingue par une approche profond\u00e9ment humaine des politiques sociales, notamment en mati\u00e8re de lutte contre la pauvret\u00e9 et d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 entre les femmes et les hommes. Pr\u00e9sidente de la Commission parlementaire de l\u2019\u00e9ducation de 1996 \u00e0 1998, elle contribue \u00e9galement \u00e0 la cr\u00e9ation de la Fondation des Parlementaires qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois pour l\u2019alphab\u00e9tisation, Cultures \u00e0 partager, laissant un legs durable en mati\u00e8re d\u2019inclusion et de justice sociale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Au-del\u00e0 de ses fonctions officielles, Jeanne L. Blackburn a toujours maintenu un lien \u00e9troit avec la communaut\u00e9 du Saguenay\u2013Lac-Saint-Jean. Sa pr\u00e9sence constante aupr\u00e8s des organismes communautaires, son appui aux causes sociales et son \u00e9coute attentive des besoins de la population t\u00e9moignent d\u2019un profond attachement \u00e0 son milieu. Elle incarne une conception du service public fond\u00e9e sur la proximit\u00e9, l\u2019engagement et le respect.<\/p>\n

Son apport remarquable a \u00e9t\u00e9 reconnu \u00e0 de nombreuses reprises, notamment par sa nomination \u00e0 l\u2019Ordre national du Qu\u00e9bec, l\u2019une des plus hautes distinctions civiles de la province. Cette reconnaissance souligne l\u2019ampleur de sa contribution au d\u00e9veloppement social, \u00e9ducatif et politique du Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n

Blackburn par l\u2019octroi d\u2019un doctorat honoris causa, c\u2019est donc r\u00e9affirmer notre adh\u00e9sion \u00e0 ces valeurs fondamentales et notre volont\u00e9 de les voir se perp\u00e9tuer.
