A different kind of vacation

Published on June 1, 2021

Most Quebecers spend their summer vacation within the province every year. Indeed in 2020, a great number of our families and friends set out to discover or revisit the wonders of Quebec! The lingering memories of extraordinary landscapes, regional delicacies and outdoor fun and games are such that many of us can hardly wait to rev up and hit the road again. The desire to explore and sample Quebec flavours (its terroir, so to speak) has never resonated more firmly than at this moment.

And so, in the midst of a still uncertain summer season, our vacation recommendations run along the same lines. We offer a range of options to suit every taste, from adventurous road trippers and RVers to telecommuters in search of a change of scenery. There’s something for everyone in this issue, including the best places to practise water sports, must-have items for your patio, Quebec regions to discover, and what to look for in an e-bike.

There’s no need to focus on it being all bad—a staycation is certainly not a Plan B. What’s more, over the past year, our Residential Advisory Services have assisted thousands of our members who embarked on renovations or makeover projects. A newly designed backyard can be reason enough to stay put and relax in the comfort of your own home.

We’re here to help

Like you, we continue to dream of future travels. But regardless of scope or destination, the uncertainty of the last year has brought to the forefront the need to prepare well and be ready to adjust to fast-changing situations. Armed with hope and good ideas, our teams are standing by to help you plan your travels with caution and care—but always in solutions-ready mode.

Summer is an ideal time to recharge your batteries. The benefits are as many as the possibilities. Whether you decide to spend your vacation at home or on the road, in Quebec or elsewhere, just remember that we’re here to guide you.

Be safe, be healthy and enjoy summertime!
