Telbec/ - In keeping with its commitment to the community, Quebecor
today announced a $150,000 donation
to the Fondation Yvon Deschamps Centre-Sud, which raises money to
help the Association sportive et communautaire du Centre-Sud
(ASCCS) make life better for children and families in Montréal's
Centre-Sud neighbourhood. The announcement was made at the world
premiere of the Denys Arcand film
La chute de l'empire américain (The Fall of the American
Empire). The launch party was a benefit for the Fondation Yvon
Deschamps Centre-Sud.
"What the Fondation Yvon Deschamps does for the community is
very much in line with the values of sharing and mutual support
that Quebecor holds dear," said Pierre Karl Péladeau, President and
CEO of Quebecor. "We are happy to invest in our community by
supporting the Foundation's important work. Together, we are
helping to give kids in the Centre-Sud neighbourhood a chance to
build a better future."

Centre-Sud will be spread over three years. It will be used for

ways to help children develop by providing them with a healthy and
stimulating environment.
