Here we would like to thank Jean-Pierre, and his accomplice Hélène, for their commitment and their generosity.

Jean-Pierre has been managing the photo competition for several years. He has informed us of his desire to slow down his activities a little and that he would like to pass the torch to another. If you are interested, contact us at dg@aviateurs.quebec .
