Hi,

I am Bernard Chasse, president of your Chamber of Commerce.

I am a graduate of the University of Quebec in Montreal and an approved property assessor. My office is on Rue Sainte-Louise in St-Jean-de-Matha. I moved here in 2000 and have been involved in various cultural and social committees ever since.

The challenge that we on the board of directors face over the next two years is to improve the quality of life of the community as a whole. We have a team of dynamic business people like; Mr. Pierre Houle, our Vice President, Mr. Jacques Ross our Treasurer, Mr. Jean-Claude Dufour, Mr. Mario Tremblay, Mr. Michel Venne (directors) and Mrs. France Lapierre our full time administrative secretary.

As a team we are committed to working tirelessly to help our members succeed.

We will work with our elected officials to promote the village, to create better visibility for our businesses, and to install an open air market where we can encourage the local population buy local specialties, fruits and vegetables from the community’s farms and producers.

We are at the disposal of the local community and its business community and are open to discuss any project or idea that can help our community.

I also want to invite all of the population to actively participate in all of our fundraising activities like the Festi-Force Louis-Cyr , the supper, the raffle etc., or simply volunteer. No matter how you do it… Get involved!

Bravo for supporting our local merchants. I know that we can continue to count on you!

Thank you for your vote of confidence,

BERNARD CHASSÉ, b.c.c.É.A.
