Garrand named Maine’s honorary consul of Canada
Brenda Garrand, founder and CEO of Portland advertising agency Garrand, was recently appointed Maine’s honorary consul of Canada — a unique distinction for a New England state.
The Portland Press Herald reported that Garrand is now one of two people Maine companies can reach out to regarding trade issues with Canada. In her role as honorary consul, Garrand represents Canada on matters in Maine.
She and David Alward, Canada’s consul general in Boston, were meeting with Gov. Paul LePage, trade officials and Portland-area businesses on Tuesday to talk about how to build stronger ties between Canada and Maine.
