Honorary Patronage

lg séparateur

Honorary patronage represents the moral and symbolic support extended by the Lieutenant Governor of Québec to organizations and events that make a meaningful contribution to Québec society.

It represents neither financial support, nor automatic attendance, nor active involvement on the part of the Lieutenant Governor. It is rather a mark of recognition intended to highlight the importance of the work carried out by non-profit organizations active in the cultural, educational, social, community, and heritage sectors, as well as in the areas of health and youth.

An organization may submit a patronage request if :

  • It is a non-profit organization recognized for its integrity and ethical values;
  • It works in a field of public interest;
  • It is organizing an event of regional or national scope that benefits the community;

  • Reflects the Lieutenant Governor's respect for and interest in a cause or event;

  • A letter addressed to the Lieutenant Governor of Québec;
  • A description of the organization and its mission;

  • The reasons motivating the patronage request.
