Honorary Chair Emeritus

“I am proud to have accepted the honorary presidency of the 40th Lobster Lunch in support of Tel-jeunes. Tel-jeunes’ mission reflects METRO’s values, and we have proudly supported the organization for over 20 years. Its role is essential: providing Quebec’s adolescents with professional, compassionate guidance.

In a world that moves quickly and where it is easy to lose one’s bearings, young people need listening and support more than ever. Tel-jeunes offers them a reassuring, accessible, and judgment-free presence, helping strengthen their confidence and overall well-being.

Supporting Tel-jeunes means ensuring the sustainability of an essential service for thousands of young people. Together, we can continue to provide a space where they feel heard, understood, and supported. Let’s make this 40th edition a true success.”
