In an update to a story we shared with you a few weeks ago, a report today that the organizers of the Quebec Winter Carnival and Maclean’s magazine have reached a settlement regarding Maclean’s use of the image of Bonhomme – mascot of the Carnival – as part of a cover image promoting an article on corruption in Quebec. While Carnival organizers confirmed the settlement and advised that they were “pleased”, specific terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
