Mercuriades Gala 2024

The 2024 Mercuriades Gala took place at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal on Monday, May 6. During this 44th edition of the competition, Bonjour Résidences stood out among 75 finalists from various industrial sectors for the TELUS Technological Innovation prize. Bonjour Résidences was selected as a finalist in this category, demonstrating its commitment to innovation and excellence in the field of services for the elderly.

Sara and Philippe Girard, founders of Bonjour Résidences, represented the organization during this great evening hosted by Isabelle Racicot. In addition to being a finalist at the gala, the event provided an opportunity to network and meet other entrepreneurs and managers from several business circles. “It’s always an exciting and relevant meeting. We exchanged ideas, discovered new perspectives and strengthened our connections with others in the business world. These meetings stimulate innovation and promote collaboration in our industry. We are grateful to have participated,” says Sara Girard.

Our new site: a collaborative effort

The award, called “Mercure”, celebrates excellence in the design and integration of digital platforms aimed at optimizing business processes, services or products. To compete in this category, Bonjour Résidences submitted its application following the unveiling of the new version of its platform last November. We have distinguished ourselves by the innovation of the solutions offered, the interactivity offered by our site, our technological creativity and our adaptable design.

This finalist recognition highlights the importance of cooperation, where the work and skills of Bonjour Résidences employees highly qualified in the technological field were at the heart of this project. Sara Girard, president of Bonjour Résidences, expresses her gratitude to each of the employees involved directly or indirectly in the website, the elderly, their families and the professionals involved in this noble mission of supporting seniors in their quest for new homes.

Unprecedented experience: 8 years of expertise and a revolutionary new website for seniors

For almost 8 years now, Bonjour Résidences has worked with many players in the accommodation sector for the elderly, thus facilitating the search for residences suitable for retirees. Over the years, we have received many gratifying testimonials which highlight the usefulness and effectiveness of our website. Freshly released last November, our new Bonjour Résidences site is even more efficient in supporting customers in their search. Here is a recent example:

“Thanks to Bonjour Résidences, finding temporary accommodation suitable for our sick parent was an exceptional experience. The site was easy to use and Mélanie Durocher was both empathetic and efficient in our research. In just a few hours, we had several options in our geographic area. Now, our parent is well settled in a residence that meets his needs. A big thank you to the whole team. » —Francis
