Haiti - Diaspora : Dany Laferrière decorated with the Order of Montreal, to the rank of Officer 21/05/2017 09:23:19 "As Mayor and Citizen, I am proud to participate in the first official presentation of the Order of Montreal. Today, we honor citizens who dedicate themselves to the common good and the social and economic development of our city. They come from very distinct sectors of activity and each, in their own way and in a remarkable way, invigorate our metropolis and make it radiate here and abroad. By giving the Order of Montreal medal to these 17 eminent personalities, we give them a little of what they so generously donated to Montreal," declared Mayor Coderre. The Haitian-Canadian writer Dany Laferrière, one of the most renowned contemporary writers, became the first Québec and Haitian author elected to the Académie Française in 2013. His works have gained international success since his beginnings and his brilliant literary career has been crowned with dozens of Prizes and tributes.
