(Montreal) An Air Canada Express flight attendant had a special moment last week when she gave pop star Rihanna a beaded lanyard from her Mohawk community, south of Montreal.
Lily Dailleboust says that this meeting took place on 1isIn June, during a flight between Toronto and Montreal, when she approached Rihanna’s bodyguard to ask if she could give the singer a gift.

The flight attendant says Rihanna accepted and gave him a key ring in the shape of a cord adorned with beads from a boutique in her community of Kahnawake.
She said she immediately felt a connection with the singer, who then offered to take photos and sign autographs with the crew.
The two women filmed a video together in which Rihanna thanks Mme Dailleboust for the gift and asks how to say “thank you” in Mohawk.
The flight attendant explains that she is used to meeting celebrities during her flights, but that her meeting with Rihanna remains one of the most memorable moments of her career so far.
