After a five-year hiatus, the Beauharnois-Valleyfield-Haut-Saint-Laurent Chamber of Commerce and Industry has officially launched the nomination period for the Grand Gala des gens d’affaires to be held on Friday, May 5 at the Hotel Plaza Valleyfield.
The members of the organizing committee were enthusiastic about the return of this event, which offers businesses and organizations in the region the opportunity to showcase their best achievements.
Remember that the Chamber of Commerce presented its Nova evening last year, to highlight the work of companies and organizations that had distinguished themselves during the pandemic.
The return of the traditional Gala, for a 37th edition, will be able to count on the contribution of the deputy for Beauharnois, Claude Reid, who acts as the official presenter of the event. Several financial partners have also agreed to contribute to the success of this business celebration.
