Ottawa, February 21, 2025 – The Board of Directors of Montfort Renaissance is pleased to announce the appointment of Elizabeth Tanguay as Executive Director, effective June 2, 2025. She will succeed Jeanne-Hélène Tardivel, who will begin a well-deserved retirement after 20 years of service.
With twenty-five years of experience in both the private and public healthcare sectors, Elizabeth brings invaluable expertise to ensure the growth and sustainability of Montfort Renaissance.

Her leadership, grounded in collaboration and equitable resource optimization, allowed her to build strong partnerships across the region, a crucial skill for driving Montfort Renaissance’s growth.
“We are thrilled to welcome Elizabeth Tanguay to lead Montfort Renaissance. Her expertise and commitment to equity and excellence in care and services will be assets to the organization,” said Roger Régimbal, Chair of the Board of Directors of Montfort Renaissance.

I am honored to join such a wonderful and large team whose daily work has a tangible impact on the lives of individuals often facing complex challenges related to mental health, addictions, homelessness, or age-related vulnerabilities,” said Elizabeth Tanguay.
Under her leadership, Montfort Renaissance will continue its mission to provide innovative and inclusive services that improve the quality of life for the most vulnerable individuals in our region.
