Gesca Limitée is a division of the Power Corporation of Canada, which published French-language daily newspapers in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario.

Gesca has since 2013 responded to the Internet challenge by expanding its free online services, which it supports through advertising.Gaëtan Tremblay, "iPublish or perish: challenges facing the Québec press in the digital age," Media, Culture & Society (Jan 2015) 37#1 pp 144-151.

All of the company's publications, including Le Soleil in Quebec City and Le Droit in Ottawa, were sold to {{ill|Groupe Capitales Médias|fr}} in 2015. The only publication that was retained by Gesca at the time, La Presse in Montreal, became an independent non-profit in 2018.
