Tidan Group: A Pillar of Quebec's Real Estate and Hospitality Sector

The Tidan Group, a well-established hotel and real estate group based in Quebec, has been a significant player in the province's business landscape for over five decades. Founded in the early 1970s, Tidan has grown to manage a diverse portfolio of 12 hotels and over 65 real estate properties, totaling 2.75 million square feet [1].

The co-founders of Tidan, Mike Yuval and Jack Sofer, have been at the helm of this successful enterprise for 55 years. Their contributions to Quebec entrepreneurship have been recognised with the Médaille de l’Assemblée nationale du Québec, an honour typically bestowed upon individuals who have made significant contributions to the development of entrepreneurship and business in the province [2].

Tidan's properties, each unique with its own personality, span across the province. The group also owns the luxury Mount Stephen Hotel and the Montreal Marriott Château Champlain, adding a touch of elegance to their hospitality offerings [1]. In addition, Tidan's headquarters remain in a 20-story office building they acquired in downtown Montreal during the 1980s [1].

Beyond their business operations, Tidan has shown a commitment to supporting social programs, particularly those focused on mental health and youth. The group plans to make donations to these causes in the near future [1].

Meanwhile, in the realm of satellite technology, Montreal-based SME GHGSat has joined the International Charter Space and Major Disasters. This membership will allow GHGSat to provide satellite imagery to emergency services during natural disasters worldwide, aiding in the response and recovery efforts for events such as earthquakes, forest fires, oil spills, storms, and industrial accidents [3].

In other news, the Association des professionnels de la construction et de l'habitation du Québec (APCHQ) will present four new Impact awards at the Gala reconnaissance APCHQ 2025. These awards recognise companies with exemplary management practices prioritising sustainable construction [4].

Lastly, wild Quebec blueberries are now available in public markets, kiosks, and will be in grocery stores by the first week of August. Quebec is the largest producer of wild blueberries, making these berries a delightful local treat [5].
