in 2011. As Quebec's most respected telecommunications provider for
the sixth consecutive year,(1) Videotron is an employer of choice.
It has been actively supporting local economic development by,
among other things, creating hundreds of jobs at its Outaouais and
Lanaudiere call centres over the last two years.
