Our storyA movement born on campus.
Le Kino started at Université Laval with a simple idea: make movement accessible for the fun of it, not the performance. It became a nonprofit, a November challenge, and today a full ecosystem.
The story of Kinovember and Le Kino.
- 2020The birth of Kinovember
A student challenge launched at Université Laval in the middle of COVID by Philippe Roy-Moreau, a pharmacist who was a kinesiology student at the time, to move together through the greyest month of the year.
- 2022Growing on campus
Hundreds of students at Université Laval jump in. Local partners join the movement.
- 2025Expansion to UdeM and UQTR
Kinovember goes inter-university. Two new campuses join the adventure, alongside Université Laval, on board since 2020.
- 2026Le Kino nonprofit is founded
The Le Kino nonprofit is founded to bring together all Kino projects (Kinovember, Kinonordik, Kinoclub, Kinopro, Kinodio) and lead Kinovember's expansion. Sherbrooke, UQAM, UQAR and McGill join the movement.
