"J’ai eu le plaisir de travailler avec Viviane Forest au sein du Conseil d’administration de l’Association sportive des aveugles du Québec (ASAQ). J’attire votre attention sur l’engagement de Madame Forest. Elle a été conférencière-initiatrice dans la communauté ainsi que dans des écoles à l’intention de groupes d’élèves de niveaux primaire et secondaire. Elle a fait de la représentation lors d’événements tels que Vision Extrême », la semaine de la canne blanche et le Congrès de la Fédération des éducateurs et éducatrices physiques enseignants du Québec (FÉÉPEQ). L’École Jacques-Ouellette lui a décerné un prix en juin 2001, lors de son retour des paralympiques de Sydney et depuis le prix Viviane Forest est décerné annuellement à l'École Jacques-Ouellette pour souligner la persévérance d'un jeune étudiant du niveau primaire et secondaire. Sa détermination, son dynamisme font de cette athlète une excellente ambassadrice du sport au Canada." - Robert Deschênes, Président, Association Sportive des Aveugles du Québec
"It has also been my experience that Viviane is driven to experience excellence, not only in her sport but also in her personal life. I believe she is unstoppable when she decides what she wants. It is for these reasons that I have asked Viviane to address a large group of my colleagues on what it takes to achieve such a high level of success in a relatively short period of time. As a Canadian, I am extremely proud to know her based on the quality of her character, her stellar attitude and her strength & determination. She is a great example of being Canadian." - Deborah Cantin, Marketing Director, World Financial Group
"Edmonton West has had Viviane Forest out to speak to our club in November 2010. She is an amazing speaker considering she has only been speaking English for a couple of years. Her presentation is touching and humorous, definitely worthwhile." - Edmonton West Rotary Club
Over 750 francophone, Albertan youth were raving about Viviane. After her keynote address. She also cranked out two team building sessions using the sport of Goalball. "Merci beaucoup Viviane pour votre excellent travail au RaJe 2010!" - Annie Falardeau, Directrice générale/Executive Director, Fédération du sport francophone de l’Alberta
