NMC Managers Connect 2024 – Trois-Rivières

To make it easier for you to get to our event, we’ve set up a document on GCXchange. Whether you’re coming from Montreal, Quebec City, Sherbrooke or other nearby cities, you can now share the road with other participants.  If you are not already registered on GCXchange, here is the link to register.

Here’s how it works:

1. Go to our GCÉchange document dedicated to carpooling. 
2. Register if you can offer seats or need transportation.
3. Coordinate with other participants to arrange car-sharing.

Carpooling is a great way to reduce carbon emissions, and what’s more, it’s a perfect opportunity to meet new people with similar interests!

Remember, the road is much more enjoyable when you share it. Join our community of carpoolers today, and make your way to our Trois-Rivières event in style!
