In his position as manager of Caisse Desjardins des militaires, Patrice Bergeron has spent almost three decades transforming the caisse into a province-wide banking asset for the military community. During that time, Patrice has accompanied many individuals through their financial life with great dedication. No efforts were ever spared in helping Veterans achieve financial success.

He is also an active board member of the Valcartier Family Centre Foundation, providing it with financial advice and executing numerous fundraising initiatives.

In 2015, Patrice stepped into the lead role on the “Tous pour un Kili” expedition. The journey took twelve Veterans, all of whom were suffering from PTSD, on an unforgettable climb of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Patrice offered organizational and financial support while acting as a coach for the Veterans. The experience was a huge success, and it brought hope to many Veterans across Canada. Without Patrice’s commitment, the expedition would not have been possible.

Patrice’s personal involvement with military-centered initiatives has touched the lives of many, and has positively impacted Canada’s Veteran community.
