Guy Latraverse

1939-2023
Officer
2020

Rightly considered the father of Quebec’s live show industry, Guy Latraverse opened doors for thousands of artists. Throughout a career spanning over fifty years in the performing arts, this impresario, producer and agent represented Québec's and France's biggest names in music and comedy.

He knew how to make Montréal look successful and confident: if our live entertainment industry is now a symbol of pride, it’s due in large part to his exemplary and professional work.

As a member of the Board of Directors of the Revivre organization, including 22 years as President, Guy Latraverse has led concerted action to demystify bipolar disorder, a disease he has lived with for more than forty years. He made it his mission to help restore hope to people suffering from the disease, so they could dare to ask for help, recover and regain control of their health.
