I have been asked to scout out potential venues for the post conference of about 50 people. They are looking for a place about an hour outside of Montreal, not over the top expensive but with decent rooms, dining areas, food and good conference facilities. As people will be there from all over the world they would like a place on a lake and near stuff to do. A spot that will showcase our beautiful country!!

But it's right on the lake and is one of the few 4 star kitchen's combined with a 4 star accommodation around. The cost must be over the top though. If there, head to Wood's snack bar in the centre of town for a sublime poutine experience. And save a bit of cash to. Sat Jul 04 17:28:32 -0700 2009 4829497 262240 everyonelovessushi
