English term or phrase: catching up
Un article dans un journal interne d'une entreprise mentionnant aux employés les améliorations et changements qui auront lieu au cours des prochains mois :

Catching up in Montreal!

What’s all that activity in Montreal? Oh, how we’ve changed and are still on track for some great renovations this summer! This may sound like a rerun for the Vancouver folks but it should bring back some great memories of the changes we went through over the past 4 years. Yes, we’ve had the lab coats, hairnets, white walls, designated production rooms, and separate warehouse and manufacturing areas since 2001!

neutral  Sandra C.: sorry, I just understood what you meant :-) It's possible, but somehow it doesn't seem to work with the 'context'. I think Philippe is probably right (renovations, etc)...

  -> in the U.S. we would use "catch up " as an idiom. Very colloquial - let's hear the latest - what's new with you? that is the register here
