The House concurrent resolution honors Joan W. Coursier for her exceptional community service in establishing and leading the Halifax senior meal program. Recognizing the importance of providing hot and nutritious meals to senior citizens, Joan identified a need in her community 25 years ago and took the initiative to create a program that not only offered quality nourishment but also fostered a sense of belonging among the recipients. Her dedication to this cause has involved various roles, including provisioning, preparing, and serving meals, all while enhancing the program's reputation with her superb cooking.
As Joan concludes her service on March 21, 2025, the resolution expresses gratitude for her unwavering commitment to the Halifax community and the positive impact she has made through the senior meal program. A festive gathering will be held in her honor, and the resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy to Joan Coursier as a token of appreciation for her exemplary contributions.
