THE #INFINITEPOTENTIAL SUPPORT CREW
Rébécca Ayers Tremblay
Rebecca is a 23 year old young woman who was born in Quebec. From elementary school to high school, she was put to the test. Yet she didn't give anyone, not even her bullies, the chance to stop her. Her unwavering strength of character and optimism carried her forward, leaving behind all those who doubted her potential. In 2012, she joined Cadet Corps 629 Kiwanis Sillery and met Thomas Morin-Cabana, the mission captain. After 4 years of experience, Rébécca left the cadets with a full background.
When she turned 21, she decided to start writing a book about her story to try to inspire young girls and women with a similar journey. Above all, she wants to convey a message of perseverance and success. "No challenge is too big when you've seen it all." Her strength, energy and creativity are added to the communication team, where she will shine through our social networks.
