Message from the President of the competition
Celebrating 30 years of excellence!

The Mercuriades are marking their thirtieth anniversary this year-30 years devoted to celebrating the excellence of Québec's business community. This 30-year-old competition is also devoted to promoting the successes of our businesses, bringing them to the attention of the public at large and making sure their influence is recognized throughout Québec.

The Mercuriades is considered to be the most prestigious competition focusing on business excellence in Québec. The prestige it has garnered may be especially attributed to the quality of the applications it receives from every region of Québec.

Once again this year, dozens of companies-small and large, and from urban centres as well as rural regions of Québec-have entered the competition. We would like to extend our congratulations to them. The quality of the applications they have submitted testifies to the entrepreneurship and know-how characterizing the business community in Québec.

We would like to invite you to join us in applauding and paying tribute to the finalists and winners at our Gala Evening, which will be held on May 6, 2010 at The Palais des congrès de Montréal. This year our gala will be particularly festive as we mark this very special thirtieth anniversary.

Reserve your ticket now and take part in the celebration!
