Marie
Tadros, after completing her high school education in Alexandria, Egypt,
chose to immigrate to Canada in 1967 to reconnect with a brother who had
earlier immigrated to Canada. Fluent in many languages, including Arabic,
Italian, Greek, French, and English, Marie entered the teaching profession
at the elementary school level. After completing degrees at both York and
Brock Universities, Marie spent many devoted years to teaching French Immersion
and Core French with the Etobicoke Board of Education in Ontario, before
retiring from the teaching profession in 1998. [Photo, courtesy Marie Tadros]
