A Vision for Economic Development: First Nations shaping future growth and prosperity

The World Trade Centre Vancouver is proud to partner with the Consulate General of Mexico in Vancouver and the U.S. Consulate General in Vancouver to host a market information session on the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).

The event aims to showcase trade and investment opportunities between Canada, the United States, and Mexico and highlight the implications of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) while exploring possibilities for further collaboration.

We are delighted to announce that our keynote speakers Consul General D. Brent Hardt, United States Consul General, and Ana Berenice Diaz Ceballos Parada, Consul General of Mexico, will share their expertise on opportunities for investment within their respective countries and cross-border trade opportunities across the North American market. They will be joined by Janel Quiring, Director of International Trade, Province of British Columbia, who will provide an overview of the updates in the CUSMA agreement, and what that holds for businesses in the region.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with Consulate officials and discover how businesses can effectively capitalize on investment opportunities offered across the North American market.
