The FNX-INNOV 2023 summer party was a complete success!

Over 200 colleagues gathered again this year for our summer party at Domaine Saint-Simon near Saint-Hyacinthe. There was everything for a good time: fresh air and trees, games and challenges, giveaways, a méchoui and drinks! We had so much fun that even the mosquitoes wanted to join us at the end of the evening!

By 2 p.m., the enchanting Domaine Saint-Simon site was ready to welcome part of our community to its immense 50-acre semi-wooded grounds. Field and fairground games allowed a good mix of rivalry and camaraderie. During the afternoon, the more competitive players managed to earn enough tokens for a chance to spin the Ferris wheel and win prizes, while the more festive ones headed for the bar, where 100% Quebec beers and wine were offered.

After the group photo and a speech by our COO Daniel Laganière, we headed to the giant tent for aperitifs and dinner. Guests enjoyed a delicious mechoui meal cooked and served by a local restaurant, and everyone agreed that this was a great way to proudly encourage local purchasing! What’s more, the remaining uneaten food was donated to local charities to provide food aid to those in need.

Finally, the evening continued with more door prizes and music to the delight of the dancers. The campfire not only served to chase away the mosquitoes, but also to set the mood for our fellow musicians, who took the opportunity to bring out their guitars.

Our thanks once again to the Social Club organizing committee for a very successful event! For those of you who couldn’t make it, don’t worry, there’s always next year!
