On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the Mayor’s Office of Cap-Haïtien and the Haitian Chamber of Commerce of Canada (CCHC) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) aimed at strengthening economic cooperation, promoting investment, and fostering exchanges between the business communities of Cap-Haitien and Canada.

This agreement establishes a collaborative framework designed to facilitate economic partnerships, encourage innovation, and support local development initiatives in Cap-Haitien.

The protocol was signed by Michel St-Croix, Mayor of Cap-Haïtien, and Luckny Guerrier, President of the CCHC, with the participation of the Business Facilitation Office (BFA).

The two institutions intend to collaborate in areas including entrepreneurship, business development, investment promotion, tourism, and capacity building. The protocol also provides for the establishment of a coordination and monitoring mechanism for joint initiatives, with technical support from the BFA.

In her remarks, Luckny Guerrier highlighted the importance of this cooperation and the role of the diaspora in Haiti’s economic development. "Our organization’s mission is to bring entrepreneurs together, facilitate economic exchanges, and mobilize the resources, skills, and networks of the diaspora for the benefit of sustainable development in Haiti," she stated.

For his part, Mayor St-Croix welcomed this cooperative initiative and expressed the hope that the partnership would endure over the long term extending beyond the tenure of the current municipal commission to ensure the continuity of efforts aimed at the economic development of Cap-Haitien.
