For the fourth year in a row, we were proud partners of the Rendez-vous familial des pompiers de Montréal, held at Angrignon Park from July 11 to 13. This family-friendly event features a variety of activities for kids and adults alike, including 1, 5, and 10 km races, children’s entertainment, and a free BBQ. It is a great opportunity for fire safety professionals to show their community involvement and promote their profession.
A standout feature of this beloved event is the Firefit competition, an immersive challenge inspired by the firefighting profession that puts participants’ strength and physical fitness to the test. We invited our Desjardins partners to join in the fun by competing in the corporate category.
For a few moments, under a scorching sun, about 20 of our green-hearted representatives got to experience segments of the relay course that give a real sense of how demanding a fire intervention can be. Suited up in full firefighter gear and breathing apparatus, they tackled the course with enthusiasm and big smiles.
While the Firefit course takes under 5 minutes to complete, the sweat was very real! The energy and camaraderie between teams were wonderful to witness, and every participant walked away with the same takeaway: firefighters truly earn their esteemed reputation, because this is one tough profession.
Here are a few snapshots from this fantastic day, along with an open invitation to our network to join us in 2026! An outstanding teambuilding experience worth putting on your calendar.
