As reported by the Montreal International Auto Show
MONTREAL, QC - From January 15 to 24, 2010, the Palais des congrès de Montréal will host the 42nd Edition of the Montreal International Auto Show (MIAS). Organizers once again invite you to come admire the latest vehicle models from all manufacturers, all gathered under one roof! Get ready because this year's event promises to be one to remember!
Pink days for a worthy cause
For the first time in sixteen (16) years, the Auto Show will feature a woman as president: Ms Carole Leblanc. For this occasion, the colour pink - the official colour of the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation - will be featured during this year's event. In fact, January 18, 19 and 20, 2010, have been designated "pink days" in support of breast cancer research. During the course of these very special days, the MIAS will donate $2 to the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation for every ticket sold to a visitor wearing a pink garment or a pink accessory. The MIAS is proud to be able to contribute to such a worthy cause and we hope that you will show your support by joining us... just don't forget to wear your "prettiest pink"!
