Sylvie Lalande, Chair of the Board of Directors of Quebecor Inc. and Quebecor Media Inc., is pleased to announce the appointment of Marc M. Tremblay to the Board. This appointment comes at a time of transition; two current directors, Chantal Bélanger and Érik Péladeau, have announced that they do not intend to seek re-election at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders in May 2026.

 

We are very pleased to welcome Marc to our Board. He has extensive expertise in the legal field, as well as detailed knowledge of Quebecor and its business segments, having served as a member of the Corporation’s senior management for 15 years. Marc’s wealth of experience, combined with his recognized leadership, will make him an essential strategic asset for the Board. On behalf of the Board, I thank Érik Péladeau for his commitment and invaluable counsel over the past 20 years, and Chantal Bélanger for her important contribution since 2018. We will have the opportunity to fully recognize their contributions at our next annual shareholders’ meeting.
