Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton is proud to have hosted the Big RDV Relève Inc. EventTM on Friday, May 13, 2016, at the Palais des congrès de Montréal. Organized by the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal alongside the Fonds de solidarité FTQ, the event brought together nearly 300 people from the business community.
Conferences and discussions took place on the concerns of both assignors and purchasers. Our National Business Transfer Leader, Éric Dufour, led a panel on the intergenerational aspects of business transfers, an essential topic in succession planning. To illustrate the importance of these issues, three panelists participated in the discussion; François Vachon, from Meunerie de St‑Frédéric, Luc Sirois, from Entreprise d’électricité Sirois, and Jonathan Tremblay, from Sylviculture Tramfor, representing baby boomers, and generations X and Y, respectively.
The event’s theme also made waves in the media when Éric Dufour was interviewed by RDI Économie on May 13.
Partnership campaign with RDV Relève
The Big RDV Relève Event is part of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal (BTMM) and Fonds de solidarité FTQ’s promotion campaign, of which Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton is also a proud partner. Various initiatives were implemented during the campaign to raise the population’s awareness regarding the succession issue, including:
- Two special inserts in La Presse and Les Affaires, in which our experts Éric Dufour and Jean-François Thuot respectively contributed to the articles, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton: au plus près des cédants and Transfert d’entreprise : connaissez-vous bien les enjeux fiscaux et juridiques?
- A free webcast hosted by Michel Leblanc, president of the BTMM with guests Gabriel Nadon, business succession expert with over 10 years of experience with the Fonds de solidarité FTQ, Guy Roy, Business Advisor–Business Service Centre, and Éric Dufour, Regional Vice-President and National Business Transfer and Succession Leader at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton;
- Best business practice training, organized in collaboration with the Centre de transfert d’entreprise Québec in five of the province’s cities and hosted by our experts Éric Dufour, Réal Létourneau and Jean-François Thuot;
- The For a Successful Transfer Contest for business assignors;
- A round table at the Funding Meet-and-Greet event which will take place on June 3, 2016.

THETFORD MINES, May 11, 2016 – The Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Thetford Mines office team is proud to have welcomed some 200 participants, mainly women of talent, to discuss a woman’s perspective on entrepreneurship in the presence of an experienced, creative entrepreneur who has revolutionized the jewellery industry: Caroline Néron.
Gathered at the Club de golf et curling de Thetford, participants listened to the experiences of this ambitious, visionary woman who leveraged her entrepreneurial talent to innovate and foster the growth of her very dynamic business. “What a privilege to have heard Caroline Néron speak. A great leader in growth and an inspiration for all, Caroline is a seasoned manager who knows how to share her passion for business and inspire us to go further to attain our objectives and fulfill our dreams,” said Josée Larochelle, Tax Partner at the Thetford Mines office and Head of Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton’s Women of Talent regional committee.
“It’s important to pass on the passion for business and talk about the different challenges we’ve encountered on our entrepreneurial journey. I encourage people to take chances and pursue their dreams. We need to stop thinking that failure is a negative thing and concentrate on solutions to better attain our objectives,” added Caroline Néron, accomplished business leader.
Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton’s Women of Talent initiative was created in 2013 and its main mission is to value and promote the role and responsibilities of women within the organization by relying on concrete actions that foster the development of communities. “We organize different activities with our colleagues and business women in the regions in which we are present. It’s clear that, in Thetford Mines, we will continue to plan similar activities, which enable women leaders to create ties, learn from another, and above all, draw inspiration from exceptional business women such as Caroline Néron,” concluded Josée.
