Mission: Mascots! Larger-than-life stuffed animals (French Only)

July 10, 2025 - August 31, 2025

Mascots, did you say mascots? At Mhist, our love for these giant beasts is unrivalled. From good-luck charms to promotional characters, they are abundant in our iconographic collections and never fail to entertain us as they did in the days of their creation.

Meet a selection of animal characters who have graced the Eastern Townships and entertained many Sherbrooke residents over the past fifty years. Whether you’re a fan or a hater of mascots, we invite you to (re)discover them and let yourself be enveloped by the happiness and good fortune that these endearing anthropomorphic animals sow wherever they go.
