of the population, and easier access to education
and technology, as well as the introduction of employee
benefits such as maternity leave, access to training programs
and flexible work schedules.
More and more businesses are recognizing the added value that
women bring to the workplace. Indeed, studies have shown that,
globally, for several decades, the increased presence of women in business
has been the strongest driver of growth and ability to compete.
However, even though the percentage of women in senior management positions
has increased in the past 20 years, statistics show that women are still greatly
under-represented in top management and on boards of directors.
The women who have made it into senior executive jobs will tell you that the road to these
professional heights may be long and arduous, but that those who make it all share one crucial
quality : ambition!
At TC Transcontinental, we’re lucky to be able to work alongside women who have demonstrated the ability
to shine at the highest levels. We’d like to introduce you to several who inspire us with their achievements.

Interview with Isabelle Marcoux
Isabelle joined TC Transcontinental in 1997. Her first position was Director of
Mergers and Acquisitions; she was then appointed Vice President, Corporate
Development, and then Vice Chair of the Board of Directors. During those
years and today as well, her career has been driven by her ambition, which
eventually led to her taking of the reins of the company as Chair of the Board
of Directors in 2012. “I always wanted to set the bar higher and take my place
in the business world,” she says.
Today, she is involved in L’effet A project because she wants to inspire other
women to break through the glass ceiling and create a pool of women who are
qualified for senior management positions.
What does ambition mean for you?
Ambition means having the courage to make tough decisions and take risks,
to jump without a parachute. I also define ambition as the ability to see the
bigger picture. Ambition means you must move outside your comfort zone, be
passionate and put in a lot of work. As Chair of the Board of Transcontinental
Inc., my ambition is to grow our company and to create wealth, both as an
individual and for the community.
What do women bring to an organization?
Women have excellent analytical skills and a consensus-building approach to
problem solving. I’m not saying men don’t have these qualities, but I think it’s
more apparent among women. And it’s normal and fair to have representation
from both male and female perspectives in an organization.
And, in your opinion, what keeps women from advancing within
an organization?
I think that in some areas we underestimate ourselves. When we’re offered a
promotion, we wonder if we can handle it, if we’re ready, if we have everything
we need to move up a level. It’s a hindrance. Instead, we should say to ourselves: “If they’ve offered it to me, it’s because I can handle the challenge.”
The more we see women in corporate leadership positions, the more models
there will be to inspire young women.
L’effet A
What is the biggest challenge you’ve encountered in your career?
Since January 30, 2015, Isabelle Marcoux has been involved in a new web
series called L’effet A, an innovative show whose mission is to offer women

- Isabelle Marcoux
The company’s Women in Print program has been very successful and has resulted in a number of positive outcomes
for our female managers, particularly in the Printing Sector,
which is identified with men. This year we are holding our third
annual national Women in Print conference, and, to our delight,
several regional groups have been set up along the way. It’s important
to encourage women to take centre stage and be ambitious, and Women in
Print provides them with a great set of tools to help them take their careers up
a notch. I wanted to share this exciting project, initiated by Marian Kerr, with
the public so that other businesses would be inspired to do the same in their
organizations. It’s also a fantastic showcase for our Corporation in terms of
demonstrating our support for a diverse workplace.

Géraldine Martin
Associate Publisher and Editor in Chief
Les Affaires Group
Her career path
Géraldine’s career with TC Transcontinental began when Jean-Paul Gagné
offered her a position as a freelancer at Journal Les Affaires, her first job after
she immigrated here 15 years ago. She subsequently worked for 10 years as
a journalist with other media outfits, including Radio-Canada and the Journal
de Montréal. In 2009, the offer of a management position brought her back
to TC Media. From journalist, she became content manager for the Investir
supplement of Journal Les Affaires. A year later, she was director for the
lesaffaires.com website, and soon became managing editor for Journal
Les Affaires. More recently, she was offered the position of associate publisher
and editor-in-chief, which she has held for the past two years. Géraldine’s rapid
rise through the ranks shows management’s confidence in her.
Her challenges
In the past few years, her biggest challenge has been leading a traditional media into
the digital era, with all the work that entails : from changing the culture within teams
to technology issues, not to mention the importance of keeping readership levels up
and being especially creative for advertisers. And the work’s not over yet !
Céline Brillant
Vice President, Information Technology
Project Management Office,
Customer Relations and Quality
Her career path
Céline started working at TC Transcontinental in 2007. Over the course of her
career she has taken on many different responsibilities that have always taught
her a little bit more about the company and its departments. She has been in
charge of information security, the PeopleSoft environment, the IT department
of the Administrative Services Centre, and all IT projects, including customer
relations, governance and quality assurance.
In 2011, her ambition and extensive IT experience resulted in her being appointed
Vice President, Information Technology.
Her proudest achievement
Géraldine is particularly proud of how successful Les Affaires is with businesspeople, despite the ups and downs of the media industry. The content strategy,
special projects, revenue diversification and strict cost controls have rejuvenated
Les Affaires and made it a profitable brand. She is proud of the transformation
in the Group as a whole, a success which she attributes to the collaborative
approach among all the teams, including management, and she is particularly
proud of Les Affaires Events, which has been a real growth lever in recent years
for the Les Affaires brand.
Her message to women
“Male or female, we all have the opportunity to be entrepreneurs,
even within a large corporation. It takes good ideas, dedicated teams
and courage. The courage to defend your ideas even if some people
don’t agree with you. The courage to occasionally try a project that
goes against the rules and is a little different. The courage to always
be authentic with others, whether they are management, peers,
employees, customers or partners. Being authentic means being real,
being yourself, being spontaneous. All this builds strong and winning
relationships.”
Her challenges
In her new position, Céline had to become familiar with all the areas of
expertise in information technology in order to manage everything in the
best way possible. Her leadership skills and confidence in her own abilities
helped her find her place in the management team, and make her known to
business units and other departments in the company. Her goal? To learn more
about their operations, priorities and vision, so her team could help them grow
and develop.
The confidence placed in her, as well as the collaboration and teamwork she
enjoys with skilled and interesting employees. She notes also that she is
particularly proud of the motivation and participation of stakeholders when
significant changes are being rolled out within the company.
“Don’t be shy about doing new activities, moving into new areas and getting out of your comfort zone to take on challenges. Develop your network,
keep in touch with others in your area of expertise and listen to clients and the changes they are dealing with.”

Ozy Camacho
Publisher, Investment Group
Her career path
Ozy had already been Vice President with Investment Executive for five years
when TC Transcontinental acquired that newspaper in 1999. Prior to that, Ozy
had worked for Info Globe, which was the Globe and Mail’s online division.
Over the next 13 years, Ozy headed the Investment Group sales team,
helping to maintain the newspaper’s remarkable profitability in an increasingly
challenging marketplace.
In 2013, Ozy was offered the position of publisher of the Investment Group. That
new position not only increased her accountability on the sales side ; it added
to her mandate an obligation to lead and represent the editorial perspective.
In this new position, Ozy has managed to gain the confidence of both the
sales team and the editorial teams at Investment Executive and Finance et
Investissement, while directing the vision and the future of the Investment Group.
Her challenges
The world of publishing and advertising has changed radically over the past
several years. Ozy and her team have had to work hard to keep their rates
competitive for their clients and showcase the advantages of working with a
top-quality editorial medium.
Among her many achievements, Ozy is most proud of the launch of Finance
et Investissement. When Montreal-based TC Media bought Toronto-based
Investment Executive, the owner identified the opportunity to create a Frenchlanguage counterpart to serve the Quebec financial services sector. Ozy was
instrumental in developing the business model for the new project. Just five
months later, in October 1999, the first issue of Finance et Investissement was
on the newsstands. The publication was profitable from the beginning and has
built a solid reputation in the industry.
“Get to know your manager and how he or she thinks and works, so that you can prepare for your meetings. You won’t always get what you want, but
at least you will have a better chance of convincing your boss if you are able to get your thoughts and viewpoints across in a manner that he or she
is accustomed to.”
Catherine Milne
Vice President, Human Resources,
TC Transcontinental Printing
Her career path
Catherine Milne joined TC Transcontinental in 2008 as Human Resources
Director for the Marketing Products Sector. Six years later, her leadership
abilities earned her the position of VP Human Resources for the Printing
Sector, which now has about 4,500 employees in 24 business units across
Canada and the United States.
“Be willing to take risks and seize opportunities. Don’t be afraid to accept
jobs, projects or assignments that may be risky or have an unclear
future ; they’ll help you grow and build your credibility.”
Her challenges
To fulfill her new responsibilities, Catherine had to not only expand her
knowledge of the printing industry and manufacturing, she also had to
figure out how to support an organization going through transformation. In a
constantly evolving industry, Catherine and the human resources team have
been faced with a big challenge: to successfully keep the best people with
the company, maintain and increase employee engagement and promote the
TC Transcontinental brand as a solid enterprise that has survived challenging
economic times and will continue to succeed.
Over the past several years, the HR team has dealt with a number of challenges,
including technological change, strong competition for the best talent, changes in
pension plans and benefits, and the automation of HR functions. But Catherine’s
keen sense of strategy and determination have allowed her to handle each
challenge as it arose and overcome all obstacles.
Successfully developing key relationships in an organization going through a
major transformation and becoming an important and influential member of
the management team.

WE’RE GUIDED BY OUR 2015 ACTION PLAN
We’re almost mid-way through our fiscal year. The past months have seen
a number of organizational changes as well as acquisitions and divestitures.
Given this reality, many of our colleagues have agreed
to change their roles, take on new responsibilities
or head new teams. Their dynamic input and
invaluable experience will help us continue
the transformation of our organization.
In addition, new employees have joined
TC Transcontinental.
of the market and making new acquisitions. We are counting on our
Mergers and Acquisitions team to identify companies that could, in the
short- or medium-term, join the TC Transcontinental family.
In the Media Sector, the issues are quite different. The
momentum of the shift to digital obliges us to drive
our content to new platforms in order to attract
the younger audiences who prefer digital
devices, and thus to offer our advertisers
the tools they need to reach their target
consumers. Here again, we must
optimize our processes and make the
right moves for the right clients.
My sense now is that we have the right
people, in the right places, at the right time
to successfully complete our 2015 Action
Plan.
We’re relying on the recent creation of the
Local and Interactive Marketing Solutions Group, which is now comprised of
our designers, developers and sales reps,
to develop solutions that meet the needs of
our national retailers and local merchants.
2015 Action Plan
Our 2015 Action Plan reflects our need to
grow and diversify while ensuring that the
changes we introduce are suited to the realities
of our sectors, groups and divisions.
In our printing operations, we want to ramp up our
transformation through innovation and the revitalization
of our products and services, and ensure that our manufacturing
processes are as efficient as possible. Our business units are doing an
excellent job at maintaining steady profitability despite a slight drop in sales.
In the packaging division set up over the past year, we are concentrating on
consolidating our new operations. This means greater emphasis on organic
sales growth, strengthening our sales force, gaining a better understanding
Lastly, our operational support teams (Finance,
HR, Communications, Legal and IT) have been tasked
with creating and maintaining a work environment that helps
us develop, while keeping all our employees informed, engaged, motivated
and healthy.
It’s up to all of us to make sure our transformation takes place in a
workplace where fun, enthusiasm and good humour predominate.

WHAT’S NEW AT TC MEDIA ?
A FRESH TWIST ON DESIGN AND CONTENT FOR OUR
TC MEDIA ATLANTIC AND SASKATCHEWAN NEWSPAPERS
We are very proud to announce that we are bringing a fresh new look
and newspaper redesign to our readers and advertisers across
our communities in Atlantic Provinces and Saskatchewan. We
felt that it was time to celebrate boldness – in ourselves and
to reflect our readers. Our rebranding made its debut in
Newfoundland and Labrador in mid-February with
The Telegram and The Western Star, and all our weeklies
across the province. The second
wave of the redesign was
rolled-out in several other
communities in March,
including our dailies in
Sasktachewan and Prince
Edward Island, as well as our papers
in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Other waves
should follow.
They say that “Orange is the New Black”. Well
orange is the new colour for the front pages of all
our dailies*. And while it’s boldly celebrated in
our mastheads, we made sure to preserve the
iconic and familiar brands of our newspaper titles. Several weeklies have
also been revamped from top to bottom, using a blue color palette.
These products now have a sharp new design with a
more dynamic, streamlined presentation, and most
of them boast an easier-to-handle narrower page
size. The redesign, however, is more than skin-deep ;
it’s anchored in words and content, in what matters
to our communities. We have revisited our story-telling
approach to transform the way our content is portrayed, to
tell each tale better, for a more compelling read, both in print
and online.
We are the local news leader in our different markets and this
redesign retierates our commitment to providing our readers and
advertisers with high-quality local newspapers. Thank you to the
redesign committee, for your focus and hard work, and congratulations
to everyone who contributed to this project. The result is outstanding !

JOBGO.CA OFFERS AN INNOVATIVE
RECRUITING SOLUTION : VIDEO INTERVIEWING
JobGO.ca is proud to have launched, on February 4, an innovative online
video interview solution that complements the services it already offers,
slashes recruiting time for employers and takes scheduling out of the process.
New to Quebec, the platform is easy to use, available online and on mobile,
and is compatible with most ATS systems. Offered in English and 13 other
languages, the platform allows selected candidates to choose a time when it’s
convenient for them to answer the employer’s interview questions.
“With this simple and easy platform, an employer can receive individual
video interviews from multiple applicants, and there are no scheduling or
08
travel constraints,” says Nancy Talbot, Product Director for JobGO.ca. “It’s a
complete and flexible solution that lets employers contact candidates who
may already be employed, or have atypical hours, or be geographically
distant, while cutting the time and cost of the selection process.”
The solution is powered by Sonru, a European company that provides online
video interview solutions and has signed an agreement with JobGO.ca.
Congratulations to the team JobGO.ca !
The strategic plan was consolidated with a two-day meeting in February,
attended by an even larger number of TC Media leaders and experts. It was also
the perfect opportunity to officially name and launch the LocalMotion project.
A VITAL PROJECT FOR TC MEDIA
Local business is core to TC Media’s strategy. Over the past few years,
we have invested in these operations with new product launches, system
improvements, and several acquisitions to bolster our portfolio and solidify our
presence in our markets. Our goal has always been and still is to better meet
the evolving needs of our audiences and clients.
The media industry is in a period of rapid change: audiences are migrating
to digital media and advertisers are following them. While the local market is
continuing to evolve, new opportunities are opening up for companies that
position themselves as a single source for media and marketing solutions.
With this reality in mind, the TC Media Senior Management Team initiated a
strategic planning process and conducted an in-depth analysis to deliver a
robust local business strategic plan for 2015-2016.
The LocalMotion project, spearheaded by Ted Markle, is all about positioning
TC Media as the one-stop-shop and local media partner of choice for SMBs.
We aim to capture the growth in SMB spend in digital media and marketing
services, while maintaining our local customer base.
Our strategies will be set in motion as part of a concerted and coordinated
effort. Six task forces are in charge of developing action plans to implement the
project. Three task forces are directly aligned with our three strategic poles :
► Offering more relevant and efficient local media content
► Developing a comprehensive & competitive SMB offering
► Defining a tailored go-to-market approach
Three additional task forces are supporting the implementation from an
operational, financial and communication standpoint.
Over the coming months, as we set our strategies in motion, we will keep you
informed of our progress.
The Task Forces
► Media Portfolio led by Jean-Pascal Beaupré
► SMB Offering led by Laurent Elkaim
► Go-to-Market led by Jules Roux
► Operations led by Pascale Fortin
► Finance led by Julie Tardif
► Communication and Change Management
led by Katherine Chartrand and Mélissa Barrett
AUTOGO.CA, PROUD PARTNER OF THE
TEST DRIVE FAVOURITES AT THE 2015
MONTREAL AUTO SHOW
AutoGo.ca proudly teamed up with the 2015 Montreal Auto Show this year as the
official partner for the Test Drive Favourites. Throughout the show, from January
16-25, AutoGo.ca made 11 cars available to the public for test drives in the streets
of Old Montreal. AutoGo.ca also held a contest offering 20 lucky winners an
exclusive tour of the show before it opened to the public.
The 11 test-drive cars were selected through a contest on the 2015 Auto
Show Facebook page, in which the public could choose from three models
put forward by each of the participating car manufacturers. Visitors to the
car show were then able to test drive eleven 2015 models. For the occasion,
Marc Bouchard, Editor in chief of AutoGo.ca, prepared a test drive sheet for
each model specifically for the event.
A car lover, Michel Langis drove the Scion FR-S in the Montreal Auto

WHAT’S NEW AT
TC TRANSCONTINENTAL PRINTING ?
A TIME OF CHANGE
FOR COMMERCIAL PRINTING
For the past several years, the printing
industry has been in continual
transformation, which has created
strongpressures due to declining
demand in some niches,
including commercial printing.
Given this reality, TC Transcontinental Printing is facing
situations where its facilities
are not being used to their
full capacity.
“By grouping the operations of these two business units (Ross-Ellis and
TAD) under one roof, we’ll become more efficient, remain the leader in direct
marketing in Quebec and provide solutions that are entirely designed and
produced in-house,” says Philippe Mayrand, General Manager of
Transcontinental Ross-Ellis. “Our aim is to position this operational unit as
one of the key players in high-end cardboard packaging products for the
commercial and entertainment markets.”
Recent analyses of the situation
made it clear that some printing
operations had to be reorganized.
This reorganization involved :
“This is a major project that will offset the declines in the web-press publishing
and commercial printing market. It will also make it possible for Transcontinental
Interweb to diversify its offering and provide publishing clients with innovative
inserts and products that are all produced in-house,” says Normand Préville,
General Manager of Transcontinental Interweb.
►
grouping all of Transcontinental
Acme Direct’s (TAD) activities involving the sheetfed
printing of marketing products, as well as its digital departments and direct
marketing (inserting) activities, at Transcontinental Ross-Ellis ;
► the transfer of the responsibility for promotional-insert overprinting from
TAD to Fulfillment at Transcontinental O’Keefe Montreal ;
► the transfer of TAD’s web press print orders to Transcontinental Interweb.
TRANSCONTINENTAL TRANSMAG
STANDS OUT
To reduce the cost of managing hazardous materials, Transcontinental
Transmag recently started a project to reuse its waste fountain solution.
Fountain solution is used to repel ink from any area other than the
printable areas of the plate.
Transmag installed an in-house filtering system that prevents the production
of hazardous materials when the ink fountain is being cleaned. All it takes
is the addition of a cleaning product, followed by a quick filtration, and the
10
The transfer of TAD’s web press printing operations to Transcontinental
Interweb, which will be completed by December 2015, will involve moving
web-press inline finishing equipment, to ensure that we can continue to offer
innovative direct marketing products that are finished right on the press.
Apart from the transfer of a limited number of print jobs, these recent changes
should not affect the commercial printing activities of the other plants in the
network (namely Transcontinental Québec, Transcontinental Interglobe,
Transcontinental Aurora/Markham and Transcontinental Dartmouth).
If you have any questions about these changes, please talk to your manager.
waste fountain solution can be used again and
is just as effective.
After a few months, the results are quite
impressive :
► about a 40% decrease in the cost and
volume of hazardous materials sent for disposal
► a 40% decrease in purchases of new fountain solution
All of which proves that an environmentally friendly approach and
cost-savings can go hand in hand !
Well-deserved recognition !
Every year, the selection committee evaluates the projects submitted to see how
well they meet the program objectives, and then awards three $1,000 “Recognition”
prizes to the top projects. Two “Distinction” awards are also given out in the
following categories :
► “Maintaining Results,” which goes to a plant that has maintained good
results in HS&W audits, frequency indicators and severity indicators.
► “Transformation,” which is awarded to a plant that has shown a significant
improvement in HS&W results over the past year.
Each of these two prizes comes with $2,000 ; part of this amount is allocated to the
recognition of the employees involved in the projects.
The Big Top Program was introduced in 2005 to recognize the Printing Sector’s
best practices in health, safety and wellness (HS&W) every year.
Program objectives
Lastly, the jury may give out a “Favourite” Award and a “Special Mention” to a
project that they consider worthy of interest.
The prizes for the 2014 projects will be awarded at the 2015 HR Forum on
April 29, 2015. Good luck everyone !
► Make employees aware of the need for prevention
Kudos to the Transcontinental Ross-Ellis graphic design team for
creating the new logo for the Big Top Program!

Nadia Ridolfi, HR Coordinator at Transcontinental Transmag and sponsor of the Big Top Program,

NEW CONTENT ON THE COMPANY WEBSITE
Printing Division
Packaging Division
The Printing Sector’s marketing team recently added a brand-new section
called Print Essentials to the Expertise part of the corporate website. The new
content is designed to reach out to existing and prospective customers, to help
them understand the technical options available to them and how best to set
up new printing projects.
For its part, the marketing team at the TC Transcontinental Packaging Division
has just created a new website section for our new specialty in flexible packaging.
In addition to demystifying the printing process—from sending digital files to
the production of the finished product—the section provides a general lexicon
and technical vocabulary, and clearly explains the key elements of printing
(papers, printing formats, colour, graphic production chain, etc.).
Print Essentials :
Expertise/Thought Leadership/Print Essentials
The new content highlights our competitive advantages, which are based on
the full set of prepress services offered by Transcontinental Optium in Aurora,
the extensive experience of Transcontinental Capri with cheese manufacturers, and the all-important emphasis on cleanliness at every stage of the
manufacturing process.

ON THE MOVE
2015 INNOVATION IN ACTION
IN THE PRINTING SECTOR
Assisted by their facilitators, the teams set to work generating several innovative
ideas in their initial brainstorming sessions. Each team chose five ideas ; out of
those five, one was chosen and then submitted to a checkpoint to make sure it
hadn’t already been developed elsewhere in the organization.
The first steps have been completed !
Over 200 employees in Printing Division business units are getting actively
involved in the 2015 Innovation in Action as participants, facilitators, team
mentors and jury members.
To date, all the scheduled activities have gone very well. The 19 facilitators
responsible for supporting the 25 teams and their 175 members have all taken
their training sessions. The veterans were updated on what’s new in 2015, and
the recruits were instructed in facilitation techniques in an innovation context.
Once that step is completed, the teams will flesh out their main idea in a second
workshop, and prepare their presentation for the Selection Event in May. The
teams have until April 30 to submit a detailed description of their idea for this
decisive event.
For more information, visit the Innovation page under the My Company tab on
the intranet.
Good luck everyone !
The brainstorming session led to very fruitful discussions among the teams participating in the 2015 Innovation in Action.
The Transcontinental Transmag team is a good example here.
New this year !
Each team has been assigned a mentor from the SLC (Sector Leadership Committee).
The role of the 14 mentors is to help the teams develop their ideas by sharing
their extensive knowledge and solid experience of printing.
Note that the team mentors are given special training on how to be mentors specifically for Innovation in Action.

LES AFFAIRES EVENTS :
UNIQUE IN QUEBEC
Do you know Les Affaires Events ? This jewel of a service offered by
Les Affaires Group is a brilliant and unique concept in Quebec that was
introduced in 2007 and has grown in popularity ever since.
Les Affaires Events are primarily seminars for professionals and business
people on a wide range of topics and issues, mainly in human resources,
marketing and communications. The events also address industry issues
such as the development of the North and natural resources, energy policy for
Quebec, and manufacturing.
The seminars provide an excellent opportunity to meet and network with
experts and leaders in different segments in an atmosphere that promotes
discussion, debate and the sharing of best practices through case studies.
For Les Affaires Group, the events are a platform that complements the
material it already provides the business community through its print
publication, website and iPad app. The enhanced material in the seminars
provides these communities with very practical and value-added information
that speaks to their concerns.
The events take different forms depending on the topic being addressed : they
may be presentations of case studies based on very concrete management
issues ; or Rendez-vous, offered to highly targeted audiences ; or webinars
and webcasts. Overall, the Group organizes about 50 events every year.
What makes Les Affaires Events stand out from its competitors ? It’s the
upstream research they do in the different business communities so that they
can provide comprehensive and targeted information that speaks to current
concerns. Also, the speakers they engage are leaders who are passionate
about what they do, deal directly with the issues being presented and are
willing to share their best practices and successes.
Since the project was introduced, several executives and experts at
TC Transcontinental have been invited to share their experience, including
Isabelle Marcoux (Chair of the Board), François Olivier (President and CEO),

DID YOU KNOW ?
GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY IN SO MANY WAYS !
Nine TC Media reporters probe the heart
of homelessness - for a night
The Targeo team helps grant the wishes
of sick kids
This past January, nine reporters
from several of our newspapers in
Atlantic Canada took a journey into
cold and solitude. Their mission : to
spend a night homeless – without
money or food – and document
their experience. Some found comfort in a shelter and the kindness
of volunteers and staff ; others spent the whole night on foot, looking for
help they could not find. Nine moving and disturbing stories that everyone
should read in the headline of February 17 !
The employees at Targeo have reason
to be proud of their efforts. Despite
their busy schedules, over the past
few months they have raised $710 for
the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The
foundation’s mission is to grant the
wishes of children with life-threatening
medical conditions.
Photo : Reporter Tara Bradbury from The Telegram, photographed in
downtown St. John’s, Newfoundland, gave up a night’s sleep in a warm bed
to give us a glimpse of the unfamiliar world of the homeless.
Transcontinental Capri helps with
the Angel Tree Project
For over ten years now, the employees of Transcontinental Capri
(formerly Schreiber Foods – Capri) have taken part in the Angel Tree
Project, an opportunity, provided by Family Services in the Missouri
Division, to “adopt” children and help families in need during the
holiday season. This project exists thanks to the efforts of the various
receptionists who have held the position over the years.
This year, 48 children were “adopted”
and received a Christmas present
due to the generosity of more than
30 Transcontinental Capri employees.
(See the January 9 headline for the
names of all the employees who
took part).
In a spirit of generosity and the desire
to pay it forward, the Targeo Social Committee organized games and
draws, including bingo and a half & half, to encourage donations from fellow
employees. The fundraising campaign ran from November to the Christmas
holidays, bringing pleasure to employees while supporting a cause they
care about.

Finance et Investissement holds its
15th annual gala to celebrate the Top 25
in Quebec’s financial industry
After more than three months of preparation, the TC Media publication
Finance et Investissement held its 15th annual awards ceremony in Montreal on
February 3rd to celebrate the Top 25 in Quebec’s financial industry. The gala
pays tribute to the 25 winners whose achievements and influence marked the
industry in 2014.
During the evening, top industry professionals received major awards, including
“Financial Personality of the Year,” which celebrates the influence, outstanding
achievements and qualities of the winner, as well as the vigorous growth of
the company under that person’s leadership. There are also two awards for
financial advisors in the securities and life & health insurance industries.
Kudos to the Finance et Investissement
for organizing this event !
At the ceremony in February, it was our very own François Olivier,
President and Chief Executive Officer of TC Transcontinental, who gave
the 2014 Personality of the Year award to Louis Vachon, President and
CEO of National Bank.
Graduation ceremony for the first cohort
from the Rémi Marcoux Entrepreneurial Track Program
The graduation ceremony for the first students to complete the Rémi Marcoux
Entrepreneurial Track, an academic program of study introduced just over a
year ago and offered to students of HEC Montréal, Polytechnique Montréal and
Université de Montréal, took place on January 21, 2015. The program’s seven
students had the honour of receiving their diplomas directly from Mr. Marcoux,
who attended the ceremony with his daughter, Nathalie, and wife, Carmelle.
Mr. Marcoux was particularly proud of the achievements of the first graduating
class. “I know from experience that being an entrepreneur is not the easiest
road to take, but I believe it’s the most exciting and gratifying one. I’m certain
that you have all worked very hard to develop your entrepreneurial skills and I
congratulate you for it!” said Mr. Marcoux in his remarks to the graduates.
Long may the Rémi Marcoux Entrepreneurial Track program flourish !

Are you looking for something to do on these cold weekends ?
Here are the favourite films for 2014 of TC Transcontinental employees !
Available online or at a video store near you !
Interstellar
“Beautifully cast actors in a story about space and time.
The story-line pushes your mind into contemplation of
what-ifs and why’s. The story leaves crumbs of ideas,
information and scenarios for the viewer to trail but
only make sense of at the end.”

Guardians of the Galaxy
“It was a family friendly movie that didn’t feel like a kids movie.
Great blend of action, humour, and heartwarming scenes that
really engage viewers.”
Sherri Meuris – Transcontinental LGM Coronet
Fury
Gone Girl
“I remained in my seat the whole time the credits were running,
thinking about the fact that in real life there probably are couples
who have such a twisted relationship…”
