QUÉBEC GOVERNMENT OFFICE IN BOSTON | Chers amis, Happy Rentrée to all who celebrate! La Rentrée, an expression we use in Québec, means “back to school” or, in a larger sense, “back to the routine/back to work after summer vacation”. Here's to a new energy, a clean slate, and a chance for new beginnings! It was an honour for the Government of Québec to host the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers in Québec City this past weekend. Through ongoing dialogue, Québec, Eastern Canada, and New England continue to develop strong partnerships, driven by common goals and values.
