regional economy and create quality jobs in the Mauricie region. I am therefore very proud that our

as the economic engine of the Mauricie region.”
“As a key player in the development of the industrial-port zone of Trois-Rivières, we are proud of
this new partnership with Hason. Thanks to this project, the port and the city of Trois-Rivières will
benefit from an increased international influence, which will bring significant benefits to our
