On December 12, Claire Létourneau, Human Resources Assistant in Valcartier, celebrated 20 years of service with NPF. Claire gives excellent customer service and deserves to be recognized for her years of dedication. To mark this occasion and have a few laughs, all NPF employees were secretly asked to bring Claire a pen, since she often complains that she loses hers. The celebration was a success and Claire received 101 pens!
