CHARLOTTETOWN – March 26, 2015 – For a second year in a row, several partners from the Island’s Acadian and Francophone community have joined forces to host a business mixer for the Greater Charlottetown Area Chamber of Commerce so that the local business community could get to know them better.
About 100 business people attended the event, held March 25 at the Carrefour de l’Isle-Saint-Jean in Charlottetown.
They got to visit various booths (including those manned by the event hosts as well as by the Organizing Committee of the 2015 Jeux de l’Acadie Finals), discuss various subjects with other business people, hear comments from the hosts, snack on hors d’oeuvres and multicultural foods and watch a salsa-style dance.
