- Alexa was someone who had an abundance of dedication, and never one to shy away from hard work or a difficult fight.
- Labour unions worked to help honour her in 2013, raising funds to make sure Alexas contributions were permanently recognized at Mount Saint Vincents Alexa McDonough Institute for Women, Gender and Social Justice.
