Thank you gala Excelor !

We rarely do private events... but we couldn’t sit this one out. 

Organised by the Gatineau chamber of commerce, the Gala Excelor is a huge annual event where the best of the best business folks are celebrated. 

We were invited to take part in the fun... and OH WAS IT A BLAST. Weren’t feeling overdressed one bit ! 

Here’s a quick recap of the event at Hilton Lac Leamy.
