Julie Winnefred Bertrand

Julie Winnefred Bertrand (born September 16, 1891), is the oldest living Canadian and 5th oldest person in the world. The oldest living Canadian since the death of Sister Anne Samson on November 29, 2004, she is only 13 months younger than the oldest living person in the world, Elizabeth Bolden. She is also the second-longest-lived person in Canadian history (behind Marie-Louise Meilleur). Ms. Bertrand is in fairly good health, as she dresses daily, has her hair done bi-weekly, and enjoys a glass of wine on special occasions. Her memory is quite good, and she can recognize most of her friends and relatives. On September 16, 2005 she celebrated her 114th birthday at her long-time residence in Montreal, Quebec -- an accomplishment which very few people manage to complete.
