The 2024 Mercuriades Gala took place at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal on Monday, May 6th. In this 44th edition of the competition, Bonjour Résidences stood out among 75 finalists from various industrial sectors for the TELUS Technological Innovation Award.
Bonjour Résidences was named a finalist in this category, showcasing its commitment to innovation and excellence in the field of senior care services.
Sara and Philippe Girard, founders of Bonjour Résidences, represented the organization at this grand evening hosted by Isabelle Racicot. In addition to being a finalist at the gala, the event provided networking opportunities and the chance to meet other entrepreneurs and managers from diverse business backgrounds. "It's always an exciting and relevant event. We exchanged ideas, discovered new perspectives, and strengthened our connections with other business professionals. These encounters stimulate innovation and foster collaboration in our industry. We are grateful to have participated," says Sara Girard.
Our new website: A collaborative effort
The award, named "Mercury," 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 candidacy following the unveiling of the new version of its platform last November. We distinguished ourselves through innovative solutions, the interactivity offered by our site, our technological creativity, and adaptable design.
This finalist recognition underscores the importance of cooperation, where the work and skills of Bonjour Résidences' highly qualified employees in the technological field were at the heart of this project. Sara Girard, President of Bonjour Résidences, expresses gratitude to each employee involved, directly or indirectly, in the website, as well as to the seniors, their families, and the professionals involved in this noble mission of accompanying the elderly in their search for new homes.
An unprecedented experience: 8 years of expertise and a revolutionary new website for seniors
For nearly 8 years now, Bonjour Résidences has collaborated with numerous players in the senior housing sector, making it easier to find residences suitable for retirees. Over the years, we have received numerous gratifying testimonials highlighting the usefulness and effectiveness of our website. Freshly released last November, our new Bonjour Résidences website is even more effective in assisting clients in their search. Here's a recent example:
"Thanks to Bonjour Résidences, finding suitable temporary housing for our sick parent was an exceptional experience. The site was easy to use, and Mélanie Durocher was both empathetic and efficient in our search. In just a few hours, we had several options in our geographical area. Now, our parent is comfortably settled in a residence that meets their needs. A big thank you to the entire team." — François
