In a devastating turn of events, a small aircraft crashed near the Casey aerodrome in Mauricie during the AeroVenture 2025 event. The incident took place around 5 p.m. on Sunday, claiming the lives of two individuals.
The victims were identified as Valerie Fortier, the president of Agricultrices du Quebec, and Jean-Pierre Godin, a 41-year-old man from Sainte-Eulalie. Both were the only passengers on board the plane.
Valerie Fortier was a well-respected figure in the agricultural community, known for her passion and dedication to Agricultrices du Quebec. She was also a mother of three teenagers and co-ran a family dairy farm in Centre-du-Quebec with her father.
