"I am thrilled to be joining the Hebdos Regionaux Quebecor Media team," said Serge Cameron. "This is an excellent opportunity and I look forward to being able to contribute my skills to continue developing close relationships with our business partners, while benefitting from the expertise of Sun Media Corporation, part of the Quebecor Media family."
The acquisition of Pub Extra is in keeping with Sun Media Corporation's decision to develop its solid network of community publications in Quebec and to create new business opportunities for advertisers, while strengthening its position on Montreal's North Shore.
