North Country Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner

Event Sponsors

Join us at the 2016 North Country Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner to be held May 18, 2017. We are excited to share with you the successes from 2016 and what we look forward to for 2017!

Join us for a night of fun & networking! Theme for the night will be on developing partnerships and building tourism. Guest speakers will be Caroline Sage from Foresta Lumina and Sara Favreau-Perreault from MRC de Coaticook to discuss how Foresta Lumina began and how it has developed since then and the impact it has had on the region.

Guests will enjoy a live auction lead by the infamous and hilarious Jesse Carney.

The Annual Dinner program will also include an awards presentation for the Business of the Year and award for Volunteers of the Year chosen by the Chamber’s Board of Directors. Be sure to attend to honor the people chosen to receive the awards!

This year's live entertainment will be Al Capone's Tour: Stories and legends of the prohibition era in the region told with humor from a Canadian point of view by professional actor, Steve Roy. “He will tell a humorous tale of the history of the region's biggest smugglers, plunging audiences back in the 1920s with scenery, music, photos and vintage videos. It's first and foremost an entertainment, but people will learn a lot.” (LaTribune, April 13, 2015)
