Josée Bergeron
General manager
Josée Bergeron has been the executive director since July 2018. A trained historian, she was introduced to the museum world during her doctoral studies at UQAM. Passionate about museology and heritage, this is how she found her place in the field of dissemination and promotion. After spending some years in Montreal, as well a very instructive period at the Musée de la mémoire vivante in St-Jean-Port-Joli, she returned to the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region in 2011 where she worked for the City of Saguenay for seven years. This is how management became a field of expertise and of increasing interest for her. She has a vision of scope and future for the Arvida Heritage Centre and the Sir William Price Heritage Centre.
