He was in Montreal on March 5th, along with Diane Vachon, Director of the Albert II Foundation, to donate $ 150,000 to the Marine Mammal Education Research Group. The GREMM will use this money as part of a project called “A Health Book for Belugas.” “His visit to North America also allowed him to discover the exhibition of the hotel Château Frontenac, dedicated to Princess Grace. He also traveled to British Columbia to discover Antarctica, a new electric vehicle that Venturi is currently testing there.
Appearances and charitable actions
