My
mother
died
when
I
was
12
years
old,
leaving
me
with
a
sense
of
great
emptiness.
The
history
of
my
ancestors
became
a
source
of
inspiration,
encouragement
and
hope.
I
began
piecing
together
the
stories
of
their
time
on
Earth.

At
this
stage
of
my
life,
I’m
thinking
of
what
I’ll
be
leaving
to
those
whom
I
love
very
much.
I
mean
my
extended
family
as
well:
the
people
of
my
beloved
Quebec.
This
is
the
story
of
the
pioneers
who
came
before
us.
It
is
our
collective
story.

Historical journey
The story of Philippe II and Nan-B de Gaspé Beaubien

ANAM CARA

We saw him in the documentary Expo 67 Mission Impossible. We discovered an inspiring manager who, thanks to his bold vision and powers of persuasion, managed to achieve the impossible. Following this foundational experience, Philippe de Gaspé Beaubien went on to build a media empire: Telemedia. In his wife, Nan-b, he found an extraordinary partner, his perfect match in work and life. A committed philanthropist and son of a renowned family of entrepreneurs, he has passed on to his children and grandchildren the values and know-how he inherited.
