GORHAM — Increasing economic opportunities by strengthening trade and cultural ties between New Hampshire and Canada served as the focus of a May 13-14 visit to local businesses in Coos County by Canada’s Consular General to New England, Bernadette Jordan.
A roundtable earlier on Wednesday allowed Jordan to hear from leaders of different industries, including Joyce Brady of Columbia, president of the New Hampshire Farm Bureau Federation.
