We are delighted to invite you to the first Leisure Vehicles and Innovation Trade Show. This international event will take place on October 24 - 25, 2007 in Sherbrooke.

Known as the RV Show, the STRI is a "must" for the leisure vehicle industry, bringing together more than 1,000 visitors from here and abroad. Networking manufacturers and leaders from Europe and North America will support the sector's rapid expansion and will enable Quebec companies to target job-creating sectors.

In addition, the STRI offers an exceptional opportunity to promote business exchanges and partnerships that will highlight our industry and stimulate its development.

We invite you to take part in this international event. The key players in the leisure vehicle industry from Canada, the United States and Europe will participate in establishing a solid and competitive industry.

The City of Sherbrooke is very pleased to host the first-ever Leisure Transportation and Innovation Trade Show at the University of Sherbrooke on October 24 and 25.

The City of Sherbrooke and the Eastern Townships region are home to a significant number of businesses in the industry, which provide hundreds of jobs. Holding this event in Sherbrooke is an astute, logical choice for the development of both our city and our region.

Organized by the Specialty Vehicles and Transportation Equipment Manufacturers' Association, this international event is a great networking and business opportunity. I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the organizers - their efforts will make this show a great success.

I extend an invitation to industry representatives to come and join us at this fall's show in Sherbrooke. We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful, dynamic city.
