Céline Signori (born February 11, 1938) is a former Canadian politician. Signori was a two-term member of the National Assembly of Quebec.[1]
Signori was born in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec in 1938 to Gustave Signori, a local teacher and principal, and Anne-Marie Pelchat.[1] Signori studied nursing at l'École de puériculture de Notre-Dame-de-Liesse, a Church-owned school based at an orphanage in Saint-Laurent, Quebec.[2] She served for fifteen years as a neonatal nurse at hospitals in her hometown of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Hôpital Charles-LeMoyne in Longueuil, and the hospital in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories.[1]
Signori made a career change in the early 1980s, becoming a real estate agent with Royal LePage and becoming more involved in women's issues. She served as President of the Federation of Québec Associations of single parents from 1985-1992 and as President of the Fédération des femmes du Québec from 1992-1994.[1] As President of the Federation of Québec Associations of single parents, she campaigned for automatic collection of child support.[3]
