Liliane Danielson Classification Talk
Liliane started her talk sharing information about her family roots and growing up on the shores of Lake Nosbonsing in the close knit community of Astorville.She started volunteering at the young age of 8, joining her parents and siblings working at the Astorville picnic and winter carnival, which became an annual event until the end of high school. At Ecole Secondaire Algonquin, she worked for the school newspaper and was part of the council events committee. Liliane chaired the PTA groups, fundraising events and launched a volunteer based literacy program at Ecole Sainte Anne school where her children attended. Most recently she volunteered at the St. Vincent de Paul "Fresh Food" food bank.
Liliane has held a variety of administrative, accounting and credit management positions in banking at the Caisse Populaire of North Bay and l'Alliance des Caisses Populaires. In Toronto, her focus was Mercantile Credit Management for Noranda Mines, Gbc Canada and Beecham Canada.
In 1981, Liliane married a Torontonian, Robin Danielson, moved there and started our family shortly thereafter. While Robin had a successful career in Marketing in Toronto, he eventually “saw the light” and decided to move here. They have 3 children, Patrick (29), Michelle (26) and Justin (24).
Why Rotary? "I chose to join Rotary because of a shared concern for the well being and education of children and welcome the opportunity to work with all of you."
Liliane has joined the Music Committee, an easy decision for an individual who has always had a passion for music, starting in her hometown singing at fundraising events, on through high school to today. Over the years she obtained her grade 7 in vocal production and performance with the Royal Conservatory of Music and from 1997 to 2006 launched the musical group "Tangent". The group preformed contemporary, folk and jazz for events in Sudbury, Huntsville, North Bay and surrounding areas; and created a musical stage show "The Spirit of Canada - Something to Sing About".
