Today was the provincial edition of the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge, presented by The Jean Coutu Group. Leucan seized this opportunity to break the Guinness record for most heads shaved in four hours. More than 1,000 generous individuals had their heads shaved across 19 shaving sites in Quebec in an effort to support cancer-stricken children.
La Ronde welcomed the provincial edition of this highly emotional event where public personalities devoted to the cause were in attendance, including Dominic Paquet, provincial spokesperson, as well as Lorna Gordon, Nicolas Ouellet, Chéli Sauvé-Castonguay and Richard Turcotte. Serge Tremblay, founder of the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge, also took part in this great wave of solidarity.
