The CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation and its partners, including Rythme, are kicking off the 16th edition of Saint-Justine’s Tree of Lights, an original idea presented by our music station. Until December 7, the population of Quebec is invited to light up hope for the children, families and teams at Sainte-Justine by purchasing lights. This year's goal is to make the Tree of Lights shine bright with 550,000 lights, in support of the Sainte-Justine UHC's great ambitions for the health of the province's children.

On September 23, hundreds of Cogeco and Breezeline employees took part in our third annual 1Cogeco Community Involvement Day!

This initiative, which is an important component of Cogeco's ongoing commitment to community engagement and sustainability practices, acted as an occasion to clean up trails and shorelines in 17 communities, removing several tons of waste and plastic pollution. Our commitment supported 14 non-profit organizations in Ontario, Quebec and the United States.
