VPG Bulletin
December 2025

Hello everyone,
 
December is finally here, with its decorations, carols, and Christmas parties!

Why not take a moment to celebrate our achievements and be grateful for how lucky we are? Because there are benefits associated with gratitude and appreciation...

Did you know that December 17 marks the 125th anniversary of the great adventure of aviation? It was in that year that Americans Orville and Wilbur Wright began their quest to fly, which finally came to fruition three years later with the first flight of the ‘’Flyer’’, which lasted... 12 seconds!

This great achievement by two mechanics, after many had failed before them, is also a story of perseverance that you can listen to here.

Did you know that Operation Red Nose is back in service again this year? Ride services will be offered until December 31, 2025. Watch an archival report on the beginnings of Nez Rouge (in French), founded by Jean-Marie De Koninck in 1984.

May this Christmas bring you, dear customers, warmth, joy, and peace, surrounded by those you love. May every moment be a source of shared happiness and beautiful memories to cherish.

Happy holidays to you and your loved ones! 🎄❤️🎄


Francis, Michael, Hossein, Jean-Marc, Kristopher, Stéphane and Mélissa
