The Canadian Red Cross is proud to invite you to the 30th edition of the Expérience gastronomique, a special anniversary edition marking 30 years of solidarity, generosity and commitment in support of people affected by emergencies across Quebec.
This exceptional fundraising event will take place on Friday, November 6, 2026, in the heart of the majestic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec City, and will be co-chaired by Mr. Hugo Fortin, Senior vice president, property & casualty insurance, iA Financial group, and Ms. Nancy Raymond, President, Steamatic Canada.
For one unforgettable evening, immerse yourself in a unique culinary experience showcasing the richness of our local terroir through an exquisite wine-paired menu, crafted by renowned chefs and an experienced sommelier. A dynamic program, including a silent auction and several other surprises, will enhance this signature annual gathering of the business community.
By taking part in this event, you will directly help support essential programs and services delivered here in Quebec, bringing comfort, dignity and hope to those who need it most, when it matters most.
