TSX Venture Exchange will today welcome its newest Quebec-based issuers at a listing ceremony in Montreal.

Representatives from the recently listed companies will join TSX Venture Exchange President, Linda Hohol, and other TSX Venture Executives as they celebrate their achievement.

Year-to-date April 2005, 18 Quebec companies have gone public, representing 22.5% of total going public activity on TSX Venture Exchange.

“Total going public activity on TSX Venture Exchange as of year-to-date April 2005 is 80. This momentous occasion is important, not only to the company listing, but also to us here at TSX Venture,” says Hohol.

The listing ceremony starts with a reception from 16:00 to 18:00 ET.

All issuers will receive listing certificates and have their picture taken with TSX Venture Exchange representatives.
