Tuesday’s annual general meeting of the Conseil de Développement Économique des Territoires du Nord-Ouest (CDÉTNO) began with business but ended with a cake and an impromptu choreographed dance (YK Dance) at the Explorer Hotel as the non-profit economy-focussed organization celebrated 15 years in the Northwest Territoires.
Industry, Tourism and Investment is proud to work collaboratively with CDÉTNO to encourage a diverse and successful economy. ITI's Assistant Deputy Minister Tracy St. Denis was on hand along with French Language Services Coordinator Shannon Graf to recognize CDÉTNO’s contributions.
