President's Message
The Chamber has been very active in January, continuing into February, with its outreach program to increase contacts and un-covering of Canada-Brazil business opportunities. In addition, we strongly encourage our 'Leadership' members to become actively engaged in the Chamber and provide their thoughts, ideas, suggestions and participation through volunteer work - this is extremely important for the Chamber to provide an on-going fulsome representation of its members' interests. Recent events that we have held have been well attended with increasing participation and we continue to encourage members and event attendees to send us feedback and suggestions for new events/activities. In February we will be officially launching our Chapter in Montreal. On February 23, in Montreal, with the presence of the Brazilian Consul General from Montreal and several authorities from the Quebec Government we will be holding a general meeting to provide the business community and other interested organizations in Montreal an opportunity to come out and meet with members of our senior team and hear first hand of recent news and areas of focus in the Canada-Brazil business world. We have received strong expressions of support from Quebec interest groups and look forward to building this new Chapter's network and providing specific events for Quebec-based needs. If you are based in Quebec and/or have affiliates or know of potential interested parties in Quebec, we strongly encourage you to come out and join us at this inaugural meeting. Sincerely Raul Papaleo - President |

At least three of the 12 top samba groups, or "schools," were hit badly by the fire, media said, just weeks before their scheduled parades through Rio's Sambadrome for Carnival, which gets under way on March 4.
