• Construction Related Services (Ed Kalvins)

Subjects for discussion will include:

• partnering strategy with Canadian entrepreneurs,
• how to approach the Canadian market,
• participation in trade shows in Canada, locally or elsewhere,

• welcoming visitors to Latvia – receptions, meetings and special events, 

We note that EU and Canadian parliaments have passed CETA and that it is expected to be provisionally implemented in April. We also are very much aware of the arrival of Canadian NATO personnel, most of which are expected by June, 2017. The CanCham is now organizing its members to take advantage of CETA and other international opportunities that keep presenting themselves, as well as to position themselves to serve the local market.
