His commitment to the arts was recognized in 2011 after being awarded the Prix Arts-Affaires by the Chamber of Commerce, and in 2013 with the Ramon John Hnatyshyn Award, presented as part of the Governor General's Awards for the Performing Arts.
"We are delighted to have Mr. Desrosiers with his extensive experience and expertise on board for Montreal Fashion Week," said Jean-Francois Daviau, Co-president of Groupe Sensation Mode. "His commitment will contribute to further developing MFW and ensuring its continued growth. Mr. Desrosiers' dedication to the cultural community is significant and his professional and personal qualities will bring a new dimension to the event."
