A 26th edition of the golf classic marked by solidarity

The 26th edition of the Moisson Québec Golf Classic, presented by Exceldor Cooperative, took place last August 29th at the prestigious Royal Québec Golf Club. After two years of an adapted formula due to the pandemic context, this year, the event was organized in its regular form, to the greatest pleasure of the 342 participants! Mr. René Proulx, President and Chief Executive Officer of Exceldor Cooperative as well as Honorary Chairman of the event, is extremely proud to announce that the Classic generated a record profit of $290,000 to respond to the increasing needs of the food bank.

The huge success of this event is made possible by the generous contribution of the numerous sponsors, partners, donors, and golfers who have the cause of food aid at heart.
