Thanks to all of you, thousands of conventioneers flock to the Outaouais region each year which, in turn, generates millions of dollars of business for all our partners in the tourist industry. We sincerely appreciate your business.
In order to thank and encourage members of the local population who occasionally refer some of these events, we are extremely pleased to announce the return of the Outaouais Ambassador Club on April 29th 2009. The details will be announced during a press conference at the Ramada Plaza Manoir du Casino in Gatineau.
With the support of many sponsors, the Club’s mission, as in the past, will be to encourage, support and recognize the efforts of those who succeed in bringing to the Outaouais region a convention, meeting or sports event. As an event coordinator, if you know someone from our region that encouraged you to hold your event in the Outaouais, do not hesitate to refer that person by visiting our Website.
A special thank you to our partners!
