Martha Baillie '77, Alumni of Distinction Award Recipient 2010
“Toronto French School, I feel, has stated unequivocally that it values those who labour precariously in the arts. It tells me that TFS values determination and openness to the unexpected as truly as it did when I was one of its students."
Award winning, bestselling author and poet Martha Baillie '77, was presented with the second Le prix de distinction des anciens élèves de TFS at the annual Banquet des anciens élèves on May 7, 2010.
