"We are very pleased to equip the students and the members of various organizations with essential state-of-the-art tools for pursuing their studies and holding their community meetings, two important factors in an area?s development, and thereby contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the Magdalen Islanders," stated Isabelle Courville at a media opportunity. Indeed, this gift from Télébec will enable students and organizations in particular to save substantially on increasingly high travel and accommodation expenses.
