The Premier of New Brunswick and the Governor of New Hampshire will participate in a two-day conference at the College on "Industrial Development in South-eastern Canada and Northern New England."
Premier Louis Robichaud and Governor John W. King will be joined by 24 other government officials, economists, geographers, and engineers from the two countries brought together for the April 21-22 conference.
The public discussions will explore to what extent this two-nation region can be considered a single economic entity. The aim is to develop recommendations of lasting interest and help generate increasing Canadian-U. S. cooperation.
The April conference is part of the Canadian Year Program, recently described editorially by the Saint John (New Brunswick) Telegraph-Journal as worthy of "a whole province's Centennial program."
Conference co-chairmen are Prof. George N. Soulis, Chairman of the Department of Design at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, and Prof. Jacob P. Frankel, who was recently appointed Associate Dean of the Thayer School of Engineering.
