Again this year, for the 17th time, in the context of the Défi sportif AlterGo, Loto-Québec joined the Aléo Foundation to highlight, recognize and encourage 14 para-athletes who will receive $40,000 in scholarships in addition to services offered for life by the Foundation. The Loto-Québec Scholarship Program has a unique color within the Aléo Foundation, because it annually recognizes the achievements of athletes with physical or sensory limitations exclusively. Among the recipients, we find, among others: Olivier Dussault, 29 years old, and Olivier Roy, 20 years old, in boccia, both from Quebec; Samuel Larouche, 30 years old, in para-athletics, from Saguenay (Jonquière), as well as William Roussy, 20 years old, in para badminton, from Maria (Gaspésie).
