Ana Garrido-Varo
Chair of the International Council for Near Infrared Spectroscopy
Dear Ms. Garrido-Varo,
It is my pleasure to support Tourism Winnipeg's bid to host the 2021 International
Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy in our vibrant city in the centre of Canada.
Winnipeg is a hub of tourism: ours is a city rich in arts, culture, sports and entertainment.
Our recently expanded convention and conference facilities have hosted events for many
national and international-scale organizations, and you will experience that our city is full of
enthusiastic fans and volunteers – all of whom will create an amazing atmosphere for your
esteemed international delegates.
We are pleased you are considering Winnipeg as the host city for the 2021 International
Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy, and on behalf of the citizens of Winnipeg and
my City Council colleagues, it would be our pleasure to welcome you to Winnipeg.
Sincerely,
Brian Bowman
MAYOR
