On the heels of the eagerly anticipated unveiling of the program for its flagship Igloofest event, Multicolore is pleased to announce that Quebecor has acquired a minority interest in its assets. This strategic partnership will enable the two companies to strengthen their entertainment offerings and create genuine competition in the Montréal market.
