The high profile event Looking Ahead Together brought together experts from across the province and welcomed more than 240 participants in Amos on June 1-2. The development of socioeconomic, cultural and friendship links maintained between Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Nord-du-Québec exist for over 40 years and through participation in our events we are pleased that the links seem to be increasing.
