On June 21, 2026, InfoTET Québec took part in the 4th edition of the Solstice Festival, held at Parc du Havre in La Malbaie. This festive event aimed to celebrate cultural diversity and foster closer ties between immigrants in Charlevoix-Est and the host community.
The event brought together participants from various backgrounds in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Throughout the day, exchanges took place with several temporary foreign workers, mainly from Guatemala, Colombia, and Cuba. Many of them shared that this celebration is one of the most anticipated events of the year, as it allows them to meet other members of their community, discover different cultures, and feel more integrated into their living environment.
Participants also had the opportunity to enjoy a variety of dishes representing different regions of the world, highlighting the cultural richness present in the region.
During the event, InfoTET Québec hosted a booth to present its program and services. On this occasion, Jonathan Buitrago, Regional Coordinator, introduced 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.
Overall, this activity was an excellent opportunity to promote inclusion, intercultural dialogue, and access to resources for temporary foreign workers in the region.
Finally, InfoTET Québec would like to thank Les Services main-d’œuvre l’Appui, as well as Charlie Mirailles, intercultural liaison officer, and Constantino Duclos, DGA, for organizing this initiative and for their commitment to the integration and well-being of immigrants.
