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.

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.
