Nicky de Champlain
Director of Sales (Midwest, Western USA and Canada)
Nicky was born and raised in Quebec until she heard the Rockies calling for her in the early 1980s. From heli-skiing to the opening of hotel-boutiques, what should have been only one ski season lasted 18 years. Nicky then left the mountains for the Pacific Ocean of California and entered the world of convention and destination management companies. Recently back in her country, she joined JPdL Quebec and is as excited as ever at the thought of helping guests discover her city.

Project Manager

Charlevoix
Karine Deslandes
Operations and Sales Coordinator
Karine has been working for JPdL for two years and she has traded in the tropical sun for the rigorous winters of Quebec and Charlevoix! After Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Saint-Lucia and the Bahamas, she felt a need to return to her roots. And what a return indeed! Karine has successfully overcome the obstacles by having a landing runway cleared of snow, calling in a tractor to dig a bus out from the snow and recording the participants’ names for an outdoor activity at -35 degrees Celsius!
