Generations of Montrealers have grown up to the sound of the voice of Zotique Lespérance who, before the television age, made them "see" the exploits of their favourite sports stars. During his careers in radio and journalism, this sports enthusiast has also been passionately involved in promoting a great many social and community charities, both provincially and nationally.
