As President of Sports & Entertainment for Groupe CH, France Margaret Bélanger is leading an entertainment powerhouse that includes the Montréal Canadiens, evenko and Équipe Spectra. 2024 was a big year for partnerships and acquisitions under Bélanger’s guidance. Groupe CH established a partnership with the NBA G League that hosted six games at Place Bell in Laval (in the greater Montreal area). The company also acquired the Latin music festival Fuego Fuego, an important foray into a growing global market. The Bell Centre witnessed a star-studded lineup of major sold-out shows in 2024 from the likes of Madonna, Sabrina Carpenter, Travis Scott and Olivia Rodrigo, plus successful sold-out shows at Place Bell from Charlotte Cardin and Charli XCX & Troye Sivan. Groupe CH has set records at Osheaga the last two years, last year with 147,000 attendees, and produced 1,600 live events in its venues in 2024. As the concert and entertainment sector continues to surge, Groupe CH is bringing increasingly blockbuster events and success to Montreal under Bélanger’s leadership.
