Creation of a Meritas Prize

For the first time this year, the  Quartier latin’s development society board of Directors created a Meritas prize. The purpose of the award is to publicly recognize a business that has distinguished itself through its influence, participation and success. It also aims to celebrate pride and a sense of belonging to the neighbourhood.
