- -For at least 30 years, Jean Lavergne has made his mark as a cameraman specializing in the production of institutional, commercial and corporate projects, and as a broadcaster of regional information on the Web. Based in Prince Edward Island, Jean Lavergne is a seasoned cameraman/videographer originally from Shawinigan, Quebec, who has been working in the arts since the 1970s. A musician since childhood, Jean founded his own audio production company in 1990 after 13 years on the road as a keyboardist for numerous bands on the Quebec music circuit. Always looking for new challenges, Jean added video production to his arsenal of services in 1995. The quality of his work quickly made Jean a producer of choice in the region, working with local organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Shawinigan. He also signed a contract with the local junior field hockey team to film home games in 1997. This contract was renewed for the following 17 seasons. In 2008, as producer-director, Jean set up and operated a 5-camera control room at Shawinigan's new multimedia amphitheatre to broadcast the team's local games on the web. In 2007, realizing that local news was increasingly absent from the official media scene, Jean launched himself into local news coverage as a freelance journalist, creating a web page entirely dedicated to regional information. With a style all his own, and a formula containing a maximum of content and a minimum of commentary, Jean's video news page is quickly appreciated by the local population for whom these subjects are close to their hearts. Equally driven by his curiosity and attraction to the paranormal, in 2001 Jean accepted a radio offer to host a weekly segment on the UFO phenomenon on the morning show. The popularity of this little chronicle led him, in 2009, to create a show entirely dedicated to ufology, moving on from a simple weekly appearance on the morning show to one entirely devoted to the subject. The UFO Show, broadcast on the web and on local radio at the time, proved a great success on both sides of the Atlantic, attracting a large European and domestic audience. Honored by the ufology community in 2016, Jean was awarded the "Pauline Mongrain" prize for the advancement of ufology in Quebec, presented for the first time that same year by the Association québécoise ufologie (AQU). In May 2014, a special mention from the Mayor of Shawinigan was awarded to Jean lavergne for his leadership, outstanding professional qualities and recognized expertise in the community.
