Married to a Brazilian, he learned how to make feijoada and was fell in love with the pork sandwich from the traditional Estad\u00e3o bar downtown. This proximity to the local culture was also reflected in his activities at the Consulate. In addition to the strong partnership with CCBC, Larue will leave other important legacies, such as his participation in the Chamber revitalization.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, a committee made up of associates, the consul and the CCBC chairman at the time, Esther Nunes (2013-2017), planned a series of changes that helped shape the institution into what it is today. One of the news was the hiring of a permanent executive with experience in the market and foreign trade. &#8220;Considering the alternate terms of office of the chairpersons, the idea was that the presence of this professional would reinforce the stability and continuity of the institution&#8217;s management,&#8221; explains Larue.<\/p>\n<p>The committee also encouraged CCBC&#8217;s repositioning with the creation of sectoral committees and the hiring of a branding agency.<\/p>\n<p>The relationship between the Chamber and the Consulate, which is reflected in a series of joint events, is a source of admiration among Canadian representatives in other countries. &#8220;I talk to colleagues from different consulates, and they don&#8217;t hold so many events with the local chambers of commerce, the distance is greater between them. Here in S\u00e3o Paulo our relationship is unique,&#8221; says the Consul General .<\/p>\n<p>Partnerships range from attending events in Canada to meetings in several Brazilian cities, such as in roadshows, seminars, missions, and business roundtables. One of the most memorable occasions was in 2017, in Canada&#8217;s 150<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary activities. A great show was held with Brazilian and Canadian musicians at Ibirapuera Park, in S\u00e3o Paulo, as well as a tribute to Canada at the Gramado Film Festival.<\/p>\n<p>The Consul&#8217;s farewell will also be the end of a three-decade diplomatic career. He plans to return to Canada, spend a few months in Ottawa, and settle in Montreal, which he believes to be a dynamic city with an important Brazilian community, friends, and great professional opportunities. &#8220;I will dedicate myself to commercial development, talent recruitment, and investment attraction activities,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>This was Larue&#8217;s second visit to S\u00e3o Paulo.
