Alice Girard was an American-born Quebecoise nurse who was made a Chevalier of the National Order of Quebec for 1994. She was a seventh child born in Connecticut to a family that originated in Quebec. They returned to Quebec when she was 11 and she decided to pursue a career rather than marriage, the two things being seen as somewhat mutually exclusive at that time. She rose to be the first French-speaking President of the Canadian Nurses Association and the first Canadian to head the International Council of Nurses. She also taught and in 1962 she became the first woman to be dean at the University of Montreal.
