Blog<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"intro-text\">On May 23, 2026, we gathered in Trois-Rivi\u00e8res to celebrate the graduates of RMA 2026 during a day filled with <strong>pride, connection, recognition and celebration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"slogan-card\">\n<div class=\"slogan-kicker\">Recognition Day<\/div>\n<div class=\"slogan-main\">Honouring pathways.<br>Celebrating success.<\/div>\n<div class=\"slogan-sub\">A day dedicated to highlighting the efforts, perseverance and commitment of the graduates.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"img-block\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdrhpnq-fnhrdcq.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/accueil.jpg\" alt=\"Participants arriving at RMA 2026 in Trois-Rivi\u00e8res\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<p class=\"img-cap\">Welcoming participants to RMA 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">Starting at 8 a.m., participants arrived in front of the Vison Cogeco room, where our team welcomed them with care. Jamie Houle, Meggie Jeannotte, Pablo Saavedra-Renaud and Jade Francis were among the people on site to greet them, guide them and help set a positive tone for the day.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">After their arrival, participants were invited to take part in the vox pop activity. We wanted to hear from them from the very beginning, because an event like this should not only speak about people\u2019s journeys. It should also give them space to share their own stories.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"qb\">\n<div class=\"qt\">\n<p>The vox pops were led by Karl G.-Picard and built around four questions: introducing themselves, their pathway and their community; sharing what they were most proud of; offering advice to someone beginning a pathway with the FNHRDCQ; and sharing a final word.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">These conversations captured sincere answers, smiles and more personal moments. They reminded us that every success story is unique and shaped by effort, challenges, perseverance and determination.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sep\"><div class=\"line\"><\/div><div class=\"dot\"><\/div><div class=\"line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sh\">\n<div class=\"bar\"><\/div>\n<h2>Activities that helped create connections<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">Before the main challenge, participants took part in a human bingo icebreaker. This activity helped create connections, ease the atmosphere and bring a more relaxed energy to the day.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"img-block\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdrhpnq-fnhrdcq.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bingo.jpg\" alt=\"Human bingo activity with participants at RMA 2026\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<p class=\"img-cap\">Human bingo helped participants connect early in the day<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">Participants then took part in a rally challenge through the city of Trois-Rivi\u00e8res. In total, 44 graduates were divided into six teams of six to ten people. Each team was paired with urban FNEC agents who were present on site.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"img-block\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdrhpnq-fnhrdcq.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/rallye-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rally challenge in Trois-Rivi\u00e8res during RMA 2026\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<p class=\"img-cap\">The rally challenge through the city of Trois-Rivi\u00e8res<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"pull\">This activity highlighted teamwork, listening, resourcefulness and participation.<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">The goal was to move through the city and solve different riddles. The activity also reflected an important idea: we rarely move forward alone. In a training, return to school or employability pathway, support, guidance and encouragement can make a meaningful difference.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">The urban FNEC agents played an important role throughout the challenge. Their presence helped guide the teams, support movement through the city and encourage participants in a positive atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"hb\">\n<p>These gestures may seem simple, but they reflect the importance of the <strong>relationship of trust<\/strong> between our teams and the people we support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sh\">\n<div class=\"bar\"><\/div>\n<h2>A gala rooted in pride<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">At noon, participants left for lunch. After an active morning, this break was well deserved. They returned at 2:30 p.m., before the official opening of the gala doors at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"img-block\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdrhpnq-fnhrdcq.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/finissants-1.jpg\" alt=\"Graduates gathered during RMA 2026 in Trois-Rivi\u00e8res\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<p class=\"img-cap\">A day dedicated to celebrating the graduates of RMA 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">The gala began at around 3:10 p.m. It was hosted by Monique Collard, Fanny St-Pierre and M\u00e9lanie Hartley, who supported participants throughout the day. The official portion opened with a traditional dance performance, a meaningful moment that set the tone for the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">We then presented the different services and the year\u2019s accomplishments. This portion highlighted the work carried out by our teams and the importance of the support offered to people throughout their pathway.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">Francis Verreault-Paul, Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador, then delivered a speech of about seven minutes. His message focused on employability, motivation and lived experience. He spoke about the importance of believing in one\u2019s abilities and continuing to move forward, even when the journey requires effort.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"qb\">\n<div class=\"qt\">\n<p>One strong message stood out from his remarks: everything is possible as a First Nations person.<\/p>\n<p>By reminding the audience that there are also First Nations members in the NHL, he highlighted the importance of role models, representation and self-confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">Wanda Lafontaine, Interim Executive Director of the FNHRDCQ, then recognized the 162 graduates. This number represents far more than a total. It represents 162 stories, 162 journeys and 162 pathways that deserved to be named and celebrated.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">Jamie Houle, Urban Services Coordinator, also spoke to recognize the efforts, participation and commitment of the participants. Her remarks reminded us that success is not only measured by the final result. It is also built through presence, steps taken, progress made and choices carried throughout the journey.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sh\">\n<div class=\"bar\"><\/div>\n<h2>Naming pathways and presenting bursaries<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">Before dinner, Monique Collard, Fanny St-Pierre and M\u00e9lanie Hartley named the participants from the different measures. Each name spoken and each round of applause heard reminded us that the efforts and pathways had been recognized. This important moment also showed that these graduates have become true sources of inspiration for First Nations and Inuit communities.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"img-block\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdrhpnq-fnhrdcq.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/remise_diplome.jpg\" alt=\"Diploma presentation and pathway recognition during RMA 2026\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<p class=\"img-cap\">Recognizing participants from the different measures<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"bt\">The evening continued with the bursary presentation.
