From the home ice of the Bell Centre to the concert stage, France Margaret Bélanger wields serious influence across Quebec’s sports and culture sectors. Fresh off a thrilling playoff run that saw the Groupe CH-owned Montreal Canadiens make a Cinderella run to the Eastern Conference finals, Bélanger has expanded her nationwide footprint as part of the ownership group behind the WNBA’s inaugural Canadian franchise, the Toronto Tempo. But while it’s been a big year for her sports portfolio, her executive oversight of Groupe CH’s music arms, evenko and Équipe Spectra, reinforces her powerhouse status in Quebec. Under her strategic stewardship, the organization continues to anchor the province's live ecosystem, drawing millions annually to flagship festivals like OSHEAGA, the Montréal International Jazz Festival, Les Francos, LASSO and îleSoniq. The company’s market leverage is on display this summer, with Montreal as the exclusive Canadian stop for massive international tours like Ariana Grande and the return of The Vans Warped Tour for the first time in 12 years.
