Welcome to Polio Quebec

Our mission: To help people with polio and post-polio syndrome.

Tribute to Pauline Karolewicz

I am really proud to know you and to have worked with you for the Polio Quebec Association. You are a person of integrity and dedication, who has given her heart and soul to keep the association viable and healthy.

Always supportive at our monthly meetings, your contribution as treasurer, your comments always respectful to all are very much appreciated.

You supported Sally Atkins, Mona Arsenault, Dr. Cashman, Father Gaudreault, Mario DiCarlo, Gilles Besner, Daniel Montmarquette, Chantal Mallen, our Director Amitha Katta, and all the members and former members of the Board.

Pauline, we will miss you. You wanted to leave us six months ago and you stayed until we found you a replacement.

Living with the aftermath of polio brings its own set of pains and discomforts that often increase with age. I understand that you want to take a break and that you are tired.

Even though you are leaving us, you are still a very busy person with your family, your grandchildren, your condo and so on.

I wish you to continue to live your life to the fullest and to see you at our meetings
