Sponsorship
In 2011, Quebecor launched TVA Sports, a French-language sports television network.[31]
The same year, it bought the management and naming rights of the Videotron Centre, an indoor arena in Quebec City that opened in 2015.[32][33]
In 2014, the company purchased the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL.[34]
In 2015, Quebecor submitted an application for an National Hockey League expansion franchise in Quebec City. The application has since passed two phases of league scrutiny, with a final decision expected in early 2016.[35] A year later, the league "deferred" the bid.[36]
Corporate governance
Former Prime Minister of Canada Brian Mulroney served as chair of the board before his death in February 2024.[37]
Current members of the board of directors of Quebecor Inc. are:[38] Françoise Bertrand, Jean La Couture, Sylvie Lalande, Pierre Laurin, A. Michel Lavigne, Geneviève Marcon, and Normand Provost.
