The Fabrique de la paroisse Notre-Dame: Communications in Service of Quebec’s Heritage

Witnesses to the History of Montreal, Quebec and Canada

Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal and Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery are rich in history, archives and meaningful spaces to explore, standing as historic landmarks and guardians of collective memory. Films have been shot on site, public figures have celebrated marriages or been laid to rest there, and distinctive contemporary performances continue to be presented within these storied settings.

Our team supports The Fabrique of the Parish of Notre-Dame of Montreal, the organization responsible for managing both the basilica and the cemetery, across its various communications initiatives. These efforts are primarily aimed at strategically positioning the brand and its representatives while increasing awareness of the two historic institutions through impactful public relations campaigns and effective social media management.
In addition, we oversee the activation of its media platform, where news is published regularly according to a tailored content strategy designed to reinforce visibility and influence.

Campaigning for the Future

As part of this collaboration, we also support initiatives related to the fundraising campaign led by The Fabrique of the Parish of Notre-Dame of Montreal. The foundation is currently managing an extensive multi-year exterior and interior restoration program for the monument.
As the basilica approaches its bicentennial, our team is contributing to the preservation and continued prominence of this exceptional heritage site, ensuring that its legacy endures for generations to come.
