This event allows us to champion two causes dear to our hearts: the valorization of creation and the promotion of education, both of which Provencher_Roy has been committed to since its inception. We believe it is crucial to support the arts community, and our partnership with FIFA is in keeping with this conviction,” explains Lucie Bouthillette, partner and VP Marketing, Communications and Business Development at Provencher_Roy.
