New England-Canada Business Council: Canada

New England Dept: Established in the 1980s, the New England-Canada Business Council made one previous trip as a group to Canada, visiting Ottawa in 2008, according to The Chronicle Herald. Led by Patrick Binns, former premier of Prince Edward Island, and current Canadian consul general to New England, the group is using the trip as an opportunity to network and discuss topics of mutual interest related to energy, border, immigration, health sciences, transportation and aerospace and a delegation of New England business leaders is making its first trip as a group to the Halifax area this week. That changed Wednesday night when nearly two dozen business and industry leaders touched down in Halifax for three days of meetings with their Maritime counterparts. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
