On June 20, 2026, InfoTET Québec participated in an outdoor intercultural soccer activity for temporary foreign workers (TFWs) in Saint-Raymond. This free activity, held every Saturday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. during the summer season, provides workers with a space to meet, relax, and socialize.
Before the matches began, a short exchange session was held to present participants with different resources available to them. This moment also allowed organizers to answer questions regarding their rights and responsibilities in Quebec.
The activity brought together workers from several companies and different nationalities, mainly from Guatemala. During the event, several workers employed by Aliments Du Breton, a company specialized in pork production, shared their daily reality.
A particularly positive aspect highlighted by participants was transportation. Despite mobility challenges in the region, where public transportation is limited, their employer provides a vehicle with a driver so they can take part in sports activities. This initiative was highly appreciated and represents a strong practice that promotes workers’ well-being and community integration.
The atmosphere was friendly and conducive to exchange. Participants expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to engage in physical activity, meet other workers, and strengthen social ties outside of the workplace.
InfoTET Québec was present on site with a dedicated space to present the program and its services. On this occasion, Jonathan Buitrago, Regional Coordinator, presented the InfoTET Québec program and distributed the information guide for temporary foreign workers. This document provides practical tools regarding TFWs’ rights and responsibilities, as well as essential information about services and resources available throughout Quebec.
Finally, InfoTET Québec thanks the organizers Fernand Ouellet, Project Manager, and Samuele Seri, Immigration Project Manager, from Accès travail Portneuf, for the organization and continuity of this initiative, which promotes social integration, physical activity, and access to essential information for temporary foreign workers in Quebec.
