Mme Annie Massicotte, 2024 Honorary Fellowship

  • Annie Massicotte is the Directrice des communications of the ACDQ, formerly the communications advisor for the Marie-Victorin School Board and the Old Port of Montreal Corporation and graduate of the Université Laval and McGill University.
  • Annie has professionally represented dentists, working behind the scenes on their membership and public communications. This includes:
    • the recent “same care, same rate” advertising campaign, defending our suggested fee guides;
    • the support and decision-making kit for the CDCP; and
    • the “dans-le-dentist” campaign to help students discover dental careers.

Safe to say, Annie has helped shape every communication from the ACDQ since the announcement of the CDCP and works tirelessly on the behalf of dentists and their patients
