"We're sustaining last year's momentum and posting increased results after one quarter thanks to our teams' steady commitment, efficiently managing several simultaneous initiatives," says Jean-François Bergeron.

"We've made some exciting announcements this quarter, including the conference centre expansion at the Hôtel-Casino du Lac-Leamy, which will help reinforce Gatineau's position as a top business tourism destination.
