More Than 900 Volunteers Honoured at Our Appreciation Evening

The large volunteer family of the Festival des traditions du monde de Sherbrooke, the Festival cinéma du monde de Sherbrooke, and the Classique Pif recently came together for an appreciation evening filled with gratitude, celebration, and community spirit.

Each year, more than 900 volunteers contribute to the success of these three flagship events. Their dedication, generosity, and passion help create memorable experiences for attendees while ensuring the smooth running of countless activities and operations.

To recognize this exceptional contribution, volunteers were invited to enjoy a festive evening featuring a delicious meal, lively music, dancing, and several prize draws. The warm and welcoming atmosphere gave participants an opportunity to reconnect, share experiences, and celebrate another successful year together.

The evening also provided an opportunity to recognize several volunteers whose outstanding commitment deserves special mention.
