Voir is a francophone alternative weekly newspaper in Montreal, Quebec, published by Communications Voir. In 2013, the newspaper dropped from weekly to biweekly publication.
Voir was founded by Pierre Paquet in November 1986. On April 29, 2015, it was announced that all shares owned by Paquet were purchased by a group of buyers composed of XPND Capital, a Quebec-based private equity firm, and two members of Voir's management team, Michel Fortin and Hugues Mailhot.
The newspaper also formerly published local editions in Saguenay/Alma, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières and Gatineau. They published a mix of locally oriented news and advertisement and listings, as well as chainwide common content published by all the editions.
Communications Voir ceased publication of these regional editions in 2012 and 2013, retaining regionally focused content only on the publication's website
"Voir Communication", the papers' publisher, also published the now-defunct anglophone alternative weeklies Hour in Montreal and XPress in Ottawa.
