Statement by the Honourable Hélène Chalifour Scherrer, Minister of Canadian Heritage, on the passing of Serge Turgeon

News Release

It is with sadness that Quebeckers learned this morning of the passing of Serge Turgeon, the popular actor and general manager of the Théâtre du Rideau Vert. On stage and on television, Mr. Turgeon played a wide variety of roles that have left an indelible mark on our collective memory. He also dedicated himself to a career as a journalist and host, on radio and television. As well, as the President of the Union des artistes for almost 12 years, Mr. Turgeon worked tirelessly to gain recognition for artists and raise awareness of their important role in our society. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Serge Turgeon's family, to his friends and to the entire artistic community. The memory of this great actor and this leading light of the theatre world will remain forever etched in our hearts and in our memories.
