WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3 - DAY 1

9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.: Registration

Registration will take place directly in the Forestel lobby. You will receive your badge and your congressist gift! 
***Please note that it is important to wear your badge at all times, especially if you have allergies, as it will allow caterers and servers to identify you during meals.

A snack will be served in the adjoining Copper Room. 
You will find coffee, tea, herbal tea, juice, and pitchers of water, as well as an assortment of homemade cookies, “Monsieur S’éclate” popcorn, mixed nuts, and more.

Join us in the Gold/Silver Room for the official opening of the 22nd SADC and CAE Conference.

Still in the Gold/Silver Room, you will attend a presentation by Mr. Hugo Asselin entitled “The Forestry Industry: Current State and Paths Forward.” 

Overview: 
“Over the past twenty years, Québec’s forestry industry appears to have moved from one crisis to another. All sectors are affected, from forest management activities to wood processing and marketing. What is the economic weight of the forestry industry today? Has ecosystem-based management delivered the expected results? Is the triad approach as promising as it is claimed to be? What are the consequences of U.S. tariffs? What is the employment situation within the industry? An analysis of available data makes it possible to identify key challenges and reflect on potential solutions.” 

A cocktail reception featuring regional flavors will be served starting at 5:30 p.m. in the Forestel lobby. You will then enjoy a selection of appetizers in the Gold/Silver Room—an excellent opportunity for networking! 
Please note: Your cocktail coupon will be included with your badge. 

THURSDAY, JUNE 4 - DAY 2

Breakfast at Hôtel Forestel starting at 6:00 a.m.

Breakfast will be offered to all delegates and accompanying guests starting at 6:00 a.m. A hot buffet breakfast will be served in the Gold/Silver Room.

The bus will depart at 9:15 a.m. from Hôtel Forestel.

Discover how the history of the city of Val-d’Or has been influenced and shaped by women through the “Val-d’Or Tells Her Story: In the Feminine” tour, hosted by Émélie Rivard-Boudreau, author of Val-d’Or au féminin. 

You will then be invited to Resto Le Chalet, a warm and welcoming venue located on Siscoe Island, right on the golf course. In the afternoon, you will have the pleasure of discovering Station Boréale, a unique accommodation concept offering luxury retreats, also located on Siscoe Island. 

Free evening to enjoy as you wish.

FRIDAY, JUNE 5, - DAY 3​

Open breakfast

The bus will depart from Hôtel Forestel at 8:45 a.m.

Start your day in harmony with nature with a visit to one of the jewels of our region: the Val-d’Or Recreational Forest: 

“Located just minutes from downtown Val-d’Or, the Recreational Forest offers 50 km² of enjoyment, relaxation, and adventure. Thousands of users explore its trails on foot, by bike, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice skating, and inline skating throughout the year.” 

Next, discover regional expertise through an immersive visit to L’Usine du Prospecteur. You will learn more about its history and microbrewery production in a charming rustic setting. Artisans will guide you through their facilities and introduce you to the different stages involved in crafting their most popular products. A tasting will also be available for those who wish. 

You will also have the opportunity to enjoy lunch at their other location, Le Prospecteur. Discover menus inspired by local flavors! 

For the remainder of the day, you are invited to take part in a hands-on artisanal candle-making workshop, as well as a mixology workshop offered at Station Ludik.

A radiant evening awaits you at the Forestel starting at 6:00 p.m.! 

The theme “Golden People” invites everyone to shine at their best. The dress code is therefore Black and Gold—take this opportunity to dress up and sparkle! 

Upon arrival, you can use the coupons included with your badge to enjoy ready-to-drink cocktails from Distillerie Alpha-Tango, a proud Val-d’Or company whose co-owner, Alex Gaudreault, previously worked at the SADC before becoming an entrepreneur. Beers from Microbrasserie Le Prospecteur will also be available, along with non-alcoholic options from both businesses. 

A four-course menu will introduce you to the richness of regional flavors and showcase local agri-food businesses. 

In the evening, music by Guillaume Laroche will have you dancing! Discover this talented local musician in all his facets.
