Marcel has asked me to post this for him - with the pictures.
CONGRATULATIONS
On Thursday, June 26th, the Berthier Member of Provincial Parliament, François Benjamin, honored 7 of his constituents.
One of this group, "Uncle Jacques Villeneuve" received the medal of the National Assembly, for his long career in motorsport including Formula Atlantic, the Can-Am Series, CART and snowmobile.
"The Berthier area is now better known on a regional, national and international level, due to Jacques Villeneuve's contribution. With all his racing success, with all the courage he showed in coming back after serious injuries and again at the present time as a "teacher" for youngters making their debut in GO KARTS, Jacques is an example of a person of this area who serves as a model with the goal of continuing the development of his community", mentioned Mr Benjamin in his presentation.
Our congratulations to Jacques, who, for this "special occasion", had chosen to wear a tie, a truly rare occurrence!!!

Congratulations Jacques on your recent award, looking forward to seeing you this coming winter. Your a living legend in the field of motor-sports, you've raced boats, cars, and snowmobiles and taken many checkered flags over the years. Hope you have a great year racing this coming winter, any chance you'll make the trip out to Beausejour in December?
