Two-thirds of I.E.Canada members reside in south-western Ontario; as a result, our major conferences are held either in downtown Toronto or by the Toronto Airport. Nonetheless, I.E.Canada recognizes the need for our members outside of Ontario to be kept informed, up-to-date, to network with other trade professionals, and to provide input into I.E.Canada's position papers. All these factors ensure that we represent importers and exporters.

I.E.Canada's objective is to grow its existing chapters in Montreal, Ottawa, London, Windsor, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver, and to set up new regional chapters across Canada. If you would like to get involved in the development of any of the regional chapters, please e-mail lbott@iecanada.com.

These events, as well as the chapter events, are being developed. For further information, please see future issues of 'i.e.Now' and continue to monitor this webpage.

To ensure that specific topics are addressed at the above events, please e-mail your request to: lbott@iecanada.com.
