L’événement a connu une forte participation, rassemblant plusieurs élus locaux et partenaires du milieu économique. L’adjointe administrative de la députée de Shefford, Andréanne Larouche, Mme Estelle Côté, était présente afin de remettre un certificat honorifique au CAEHYR. Le député fédéral de Brome-Missisquoi, M. Louis Villeneuve, a pour sa part adressé une allocution par vidéo, puisqu’il devait siéger à la Chambre des communes à Ottawa.

L’honorable Mélanie Joly, députée d’Ahuntsic-Cartierville, ministre de l’Industrie et ministre responsable de DEC, a mentionné l’importance du CAEHYR dans l’écosystème entrepreneurial régional.
“I salute the remarkable work of CAEHYR’s professionals and volunteers, who have been supporting the region’s businesses and communities for 40 years. Your commitment plays a key role in our economic vitality and sustainable growth. CED is proud to be able to count on you to increase the prosperity of Haute-Yamaska, Rouville and certain municipalities in Brome-Missisquoi and Vallée-du-Richelieu.” – Mélanie Joly
Louis Villeneuve, Member of Parliament for Brome-Missisquoi, expressed his support for CAEHYR.
“For all these years, CAEHYR has been a strong partner for our entrepreneurs. On our government’s side, we work to support SMEs, innovation and regional development, in collaboration with organizations like yours. Together, we’re able to help our companies grow, create jobs and strengthen our local economic fabric.” – Louis Villeneuve
CAEHYR looks to the future
To conclude the celebration, CAEHYR Executive Director Isabelle Brochu thanked the community and outlined the organization’s vision for the coming years.

In turn, CAEHYR President David Dupont put into perspective the importance of CAEHYR’s 40 years of support:
“We can’t expect entrepreneurs to respond to social challenges and responsibilities without giving them, in return, the support that makes their success possible. For 40 years, CAEHYR has proudly supported, encouraged and mentored the region’s entrepreneurs.” – David Dupont
In 2025, even if technology has become indispensable, CAEHYR maintains a personalized and collaborative approach in partnership with other economic players to meet the needs of entrepreneurs.
