2024 Gastronomic Experience
The 28th edition of the Gastronomic Experience in benefit of the Canadian Red Cross took place on November 8, 2024, at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. This flavorful evening, featuring an exceptional banquet prepared by five renowned chefs, delighted over 350 guests and raised a record-breaking amount of $426,285. The funds collected will be entirely dedicated to emergency assistance provided by our volunteers to individuals and families affected by disasters in Quebec.
The result was announced by the event’s Honorary Co-Chairs, Mr. Christian Fournier, Executive Vice-President and Leader, Property and Casualty Insurance, of Beneva and Mr. Louis Gagnon, Chief Executive Officer, Canada, of Intact Financial Corporation.
