Culture

It is hard to resist the charm of the Camp chanson Québecor de Petite-Vallée, an initiative that exposes kids to the richness of French song. This is a commitment that is particularly close to our hearts. 

We have been the major partner of the Espace Félix-Leclerc on l’Île d’Orléans for more than 10 years. It’s our way of celebrating the memory of one of our most illustrious cultural ambassadors, a man who was such a worthy representative of Québec on the world stage. Among other things, we organize an annual benefit concert for the iconic venue.

During Labour Day weekend, Rimouski swings to the beat of jazz when the Festi jazz international de Rimouski festival, one of the area’s signature events is held. In keeping with our commitment to supporting and promoting music everywhere in Québec, we have been a loyal partner of the event since 2007.

Thanks to Angèle Dubeau and Mario Labbé, the Fête de la Musique de Tremblant has become a premier Labour Day event in the Laurentians. Since 2009 we have actively participated in this celebration of music, supporting a festival that brings a mix of classical, jazz and world music to a wide audience and creates magical, life-enriching moments.

In 2017, our love of music is carrying us to new shores. For the first time, we are partnering with the Festival de la chanson de Tadoussac, in line with our commitment to promoting culture everywhere in Québec and encouraging young musicians.

We have been partners of the Société pour l’avancement de la chanson d’expression française (SACEF) for more than 10 years. We share their dedication to nurturing Québec’s vibrant music scene by supporting young musicians and exposing the general public to the best in Québec song. The Série Découvertes des Week-ends de la chanson Québecor and the Concours Ma première Place des Arts, broadcast on MAtv, are held every winter.

The Festival en chanson de Petite-Vallée is 10 days of music between sea and mountain. It features performances by our favourite artists in an intimate setting and also affords a chance to discover new talent. 2017 was the first year of our partnership and we’re already looking forward to next year!

We believe we are privileged to have an outstanding museum in the heart of Québec City and we have been supporting the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec as a major partner since 2012. Among other things, Quebecor contributed to the fundraising drive for the enlargement of the museum and the construction of the stunning Pavillon Pierre Lassonde. 

In keeping with our longstanding commitment to promoting Québec art and artists, we are proud to support important museums across Québec. We have been supporting the Musée d’art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul since 2016. Over the years, the major institution has hosted large-scale exhibitions of the works of some of Québec’s greatest artists. 

To help democratize art and make it accessible to all, we have been supporting Montréal Museum Day for more than 20 years. The open door event, the only one of its kind in North America, gives the public free admission to 30 Montréal museums for a day. 

In line with our desire to preserve and promote our cultural and historic heritage, we support the Pointe-à-Callière Foundation. We are proud to have contributed to the development and presentation of Fort de Ville-Marie, a fascinating site that holds great meaning for our society and for future generations. 

We have been a major partner since 2016 of the Morrin Centre, a vibrant cultural centre that provides a unique historical window on Québec City’s Anglophone and Francophone heritage, offers children’s programs and is a springboard for artistic creation. 

To help preserve Québec’s historical heritage, we proudly support the Fiducie du patrimoine culturel des Augustines. We participated in the digitization of the Monastère des Augustines archives, some of which date back to New France.
