I am very pleased that Montréal is hosting the 13th World Human Resources Congress and would like to warmly welcome participants to our city.

Now more than ever before our fundamental resource for meeting new challenges in our societies and for boosting knowledge-based economic growth is men and women.

The accelerated changes taking place within our organizations and societies may offer extraordinary opportunities for all HR professionals. For this reason, I am certain your deliberations will prove highly rewarding.

Enjoy your stay in Montréal!

Gérald Tremblay
Mayor of Montréal
