Émilie Gamelin was a 19th-century Canadian social worker and religious sister living in Montreal. Born in 1800, she experienced significant personal loss early in life, including the deaths of both parents and several siblings. After the passing of her husband, she dedicated herself to aiding the impoverished and elderly. She eventually established a shelter for vulnerable women, which led to the formation of the Sisters of Providence of Montreal. Recognized for her extensive charitable efforts, she was beatified by the Catholic Church in 2001.
