Greetings!
Bonjour!
I don't know if you've heard yet or not, but we're putting together a French-language version of Collision Repair. It will be hitting doorsteps soon and we hope it's the start of a more inclusive Canadian collision repair conversation.
I'm excited about the prospect of expanding our bilingual operations and we've brought in some very talented people to help us in our goals. We've also benefited greatly from the help of some of Quebec's best industry insiders (I'll try not to ruin the surprise).
Our current Quebec readers will receive the issue automatically. To those readers, if there's anyone within your organization or in the industry you know who'd appreciate getting a copy, could you direct them to our subscribe page (collisionrepairmag.com/subscribe)? It's still free, and it will be 100 per cent French. If the address is in Quebec they'll automatically get a copy.
If you're outside of Quebec and you'd like a copy of the French magazine, please email me directly at editor@collisionrepairmag.com with your name and mailing address (you may get a follow-up from someone at the office to confirm some details).
