Little train goes far!
Under the honorary co-chairmanship of Jean-Philippe Bonneaupresident of Ambicio, and his son Malik (photo), the latter having an autism spectrum disorder, the Plein potential Foundation (formerly the CRDI Foundation of Quebec) has just launched its 3e annual “Little train goes far” fundraising campaign. The objective is to raise funds to support people with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders and their families in the National Capital. You can now contribute to the campaign by going to www.petittrainvaloin.com to make a donation or to purchase tickets for the closing evening on October 30, 2024. These contributions will also be used, among other things, for camps or leisure activities, the acquisition of adapted and relevant equipment, or even to offer moments of respite to families and for the implementation of major projects, such as sensory rooms, in the National Capital.

13 years of loyalty
The entire L’Antidote Médias team recently saluted the 13 years of involvement and hard work of Daniel Bouchard (photo), well known in the media world in the Quebec region, who remained on the team, after the sale of his shares, in order to facilitate the transition to the new leaders. Former partner alongside founder Stéphane Champagne, still president of the L’Antidote Médias team, Daniel Bouchard joined the L’Antidote Médias team in 2010 and was passionately involved for nearly 15 years. Having participated in media acquisitions such as Quelle Faire à Québec, Passe-Partout Services and Bonnes Chères, Agence Option and Québec Scope, his time as vice-president was notable. Mr. Bouchard will return to his old love, the restaurant business. Photo provided by L’Antidote.
A successful first

Presented in collaboration with the real estate network Via Capitale, the event made it possible to raise, thanks to generous partners, collaborators, donors and players, without forgetting the efforts of the members of the Club Lions Québec-La Cité, the sum of $30,300 which will be donated to works for children affected by hunger, childhood cancer, and to the two Ronald McDonald Houses.
