The Office du tourisme et des congrès de Val-d'Or honored its ambassadors
December 11, 2013
The Office du tourisme et des congrès de Val-d’Or (OTCVO) and its partners together with the mayor of Val-d’Or Mr Pierre Corbeil have honored the members of the Eeyou Istchee Sport & Recreational Association’s (EISRA) board of directors, Mr Raymond Shanoush and his directors, as ambassadors for Val-d’Or and Abitibi-Témiscamingue. « For us, an ambassador is a person that radiates outside the region and has influence on the decision to hold an event in our region » said Mr. Cadieux, president of the OTCVO.
With this gathering, the OTCVO and major hotels wished to emphasize the privileged relationship between Val-d’Or and the Cree communities and recognize the economic contribution that are produced by all the activities and sporting events organized by the EISRA in the region. In a warm and friendly atmosphere, the representatives of the OTCVO, the EISRA, the Val-d’Or Chamber of Commerce, were able to exchange on different improvements to facilitate the organization of large scale events in our region. It was a great opportunity to strengthen the relationships between Val-d’Or and the communities of northern Quebec.
As Mr Michel Cadieux mentioned, « To win, you need a good team and all the players are important. This is what we want to build with the EISRA, the major hotels in Val-d’Or and other partners». Mr Raymond Shanoush, president of the EISRA, and his directors have the same desire. This is the beginning of new alliances in which all partners will win.
