Canadian French-language newspaper chain
Gesca Limitée is a division of the Power Corporation of Canada, which published French-language daily newspapers in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario.
Gesca has since 2013 responded to the Internet challenge by expanding its free online services, which it supports through advertising.[1]
All of the company's publications, including Le Soleil in Quebec City and Le Droit in Ottawa, were sold to Groupe Capitales Médias [fr] in 2015. The only publication that was retained by Gesca at the time, La Presse in Montreal, became an independent non-profit in 2018.
