Last week, EC Montreal hosted an EC North American conference at our school. We welcomed all the Centre Directors and Directors of Studies from all our North American centres as well as our CEO, Mike Xuereb, our Directors of Operations from across the EC locations as well as very important EC employees.
The goal of this conference was to share best practices, get an update from the different departments across EC and to enjoy each other’s company. Although EC is a large company with over 20 destinations, in 5 different countries and 3 different continents, it is still a family run business and we are still a family at heart. These occasions to get together reinforce this family relationship we have with our colleagues across the different centres.
For many of our guests, it was their first visit to Montreal. They were so excited to be here! We planned some very fun outings to different restaurants in Montreal, including a night out at Les Enfants Terribles, that is located at the top of Montreal’s tallest building, Place Ville Marie. The view from the restaurant is spectacular!
We also planned a gastronomy team-building activity for the EC team! We went to one of our most mused gastronomy vendors, Ateliers et Saveurs and learned how to mix cocktails and make tapas. We had so much fun on this very hands on activity! We drank, ate and enjoyed each other’s company.
We began the meeting with our French teacher Fatiha giving a French crash course. Everybody loved it and wished they could have a stayed for a longer French class at EC Montreal!
It was a very pleasant and productive week at EC Montreal with our extended EC family! They all fell in love with Montreal and have asked for us to host again!
