Canada Summer Party: The Art of Celebrating Summer at Work.

Summer in Canada is a season full of light, energy, and connection. For companies, it’s the perfect time to host internal events that celebrate success, strengthen team bonds, and create shared memories. A rooftop drink or a team night out becomes more than just an outing, it’s an experience that inspires and energizes.

A Well-Rooted Social and Professional Tradition in Quebec

The “5 à 7”, a French expression meaning “from five to seven” is a Quebec tradition that refers to a friendly get-together after work, usually between 5 PM and 7 PM. These gatherings often happen in bars, restaurants, or even at the office. It’s a time when colleagues, partners, or friends relax over drinks, snacks, and casual conversations.

But the 5 à 7 is more than just an after-work drink. It plays a key role in workplace culture across Quebec by fostering informal connections, encouraging open exchanges, and strengthening human relationships in a laid-back setting.

The goal? To give your team a warm, relaxed moment outside the formal work environment, something that strengthens team spirit, boosts a sense of belonging, and helps everyone recharge. A well-planned 5 à 7 can truly uplift team morale.

Why Host a 5 à 7 at Work?

More and more companies are embracing the 5 à 7 format to Celebrate a success a product launch, project completion, major deal, Welcome new employees, Thank a team, mark someone’s departure, build stronger bonds between departments Or simply to create a break from routine and bring people together

Summer is Calling, What are your plans?

This season isn’t just about sunshine; it’s a chance to pause, recharge, and reconnect with yourself, your team, or simply the moment. Let this summer be a reminder that energy, creativity, and clarity often come when we slow down just enough to notice what really matters.
