The idea was to introduce our new activities in the field of office equipment in Nunavik. We now sell and provide the service for Canon equipment such as photocopiers/printers, fax machines and scanners.

After a week of successfull meetings, we have well met our objectives. Most of the local organisations have received the news positively.
