TC Transcontinental has always been an active player in the communities in which it operates, allocating part of its profits every year to support worthy causes. The Corporation participates by making direct donations or by offering free printing and distribution services (through Publisac) and advertising space in its publications.

TC Transcontinental focuses on the critical areas of health, education, culture and community development.

Here are a few of the causes we have supported in recent years:

In the area of healthcare, TC Transcontinental supports a number of hospitals and research centres, including the Canadian Cancer Society, the Clinical Research Institute of Montreal, the Montreal Heart Institute, the Montreal General Hospital, the Montreal Sacré-Cœur Hospital, the Centre Hospitalier Pierre-Boucher, the Montreal Children’s Hospital and the Sainte-Justine Children’s Hospital.

In education, several Quebec universities benefit from various types of assistance from Transcontinental, including HEC Montréal, through the Chair in Arts Management, and the University of Sherbrooke. In Ontario, we support the School of Graphic Communications at Ryerson University in Toronto.
TC Transcontinental was also one of the three main sponsors of the Institut des communications graphiques de Montréal.

In terms of social, cultural and environmental support, TC Transcontinental has donated to Centraide of Greater Montreal; the International Centre for Conflict Resolution and Mediation (“Vers le pacifique” program); the ACTI-MENU Health Program (an organization that encourages people to quit smoking); Sun Youth and Portage; Les Impatients, a foundation for art therapy and outsider art in Quebec; the Montreal Symphony Orchestra; the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; and several theatres, including Espace Go and Théâtre du Nouveau Monde.
