The Réseau FADOQ, the largest organization for seniors in Canada with over 550,000
members, is proud to host the 9th edition of the Regional Games. These ongoing recreational
and sports tournaments, which will run until June 18, highlight FADOQ’s dedication to
enhancing and preserving the quality of life for individuals aged 50 and older. Open to all
members, regardless of their club affiliation, the games provide a unique opportunity for
participants from different regions to come together, compete, and build connections.

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all, registration is mandatory. This helps
organizers plan for the number of participants, arrange teams, and prepare meals, snacks,
draws, and prizes. For registration details and payment methods, participants are encouraged to
consult the designated contacts listed in the event’s schedule.

The Regional Games offer a diverse array of activities, catering to a wide range of interests.
From card games like Military Whist at the Club de l’amitié de Plaisance to darts at Les Rayons
de Soleil de Montpellier, Scrabble at Club FADOQ Saint-André-Avellin, and even a regional golf
tournament at the Tecumseh Golf Club, there is something for everyone. Other highlights
include Baseball Poche, pétanque, pickleball, and a second round of Military Whist, each with
its own set of registration details, fees, and prizes.

The grand finale of the games will take place at Lac Leamy in Gatineau on June 18, 2024, with
specifics to be announced as the date approaches. In addition, winners from the Outaouais will
have the opportunity to represent their region at the FADOQ Provincial Games in Sherbrooke,
Estrie, from September 17 to 19. Selection and registration for these provincial games will be
managed by FADOQ – Région Outaouais.
