Portraits
The people who live in the maritime regions of Québec really are as friendly as they say! Come and meet some of the proud ambassadors of our regions.
Perle Morency and Kim Côté
As people who love the land and its bounty, partners Perle Morency and Kim Côté have worked hard to fulfill their dream and open a literary café-bistro in the former presbytery in Kamouraska.
Guillaume Molaison
Guillaume is very involved in his community and participates in the development of this region by actively promoting the Chic-Chocs as an outdoor playground.
Patrice Corbeil
Patrice Corbeil works for the Group for Research and Education on Marine Mammals (GREMM) at the confluence of the Saguenay Fjord and the St. Lawrence River. One of the GREMM’s achievements was the opening of the Marine Mammal Interpretation Centre (CIMM) in Tadoussac, 25 years ago.
Pauline-Gervaise Grégoire and Martin Fiset
Inspired by the wind, local scenery and design in general, Pauline-Gervaise Grégoire and Martin Fiset have found a way to balance work and play: using sand from the Îles de la Madeleine and other materials, they create sand sculptures that capture the atmosphere of the Islands.
Alexander Reford
Elsie Reford’s great-grandson, Alexander Reford, has been the director of the Reford Gardens since 1995 and oversees their conservation and development.
