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

contribution to the realization of this major project,” said Gaétan Boivin, President and CEO of the Port of Trois-Rivières
