First monthly birthday party at the Manoir Repentigny

Les Résidences Soleil Manoir Repentigny recently reached an important milestone with the kickoff of the Monthly Birthday Celebrations! This intergenerational event brings people together in the purest Soleil tradition, a hallmark of the Soleil lifestyle since the very beginning.

A busy month for celebrations at Manoir Repentigny, August saw the birthdays of 70 residents and 6 employees, the wedding anniversaries of 10 couples, and the introduction of 3 new members to the Select 90 Club! All of them signed the Résidences Soleil Golden Guest book for the first time.

Relive the best moments of the evening!

The atmosphere was electric from the moment we stepped into the spectacular dining room on the 31st floor. Vibrant decorations, lively background music, knowing smiles, elegant outfits, and even bottles of wine raised in honor of the guests of honor: everything was in place to get the party started.

4 générations of the Famille Savoie 

To highlight the importance of this long-awaited festive occasion, several members of the Savoie Family were present, accompanied by two directors from Résidences Soleil:

  • Mr. Eddy Savoie, Owner, Founder, and Chairman of the Board
  • Ms. Carmelle Savoie, Vice-Chairman of the Board
  • Ms. Nataly Savoie, Executive President  
  • Mr. Eddy Junior Savoie, Executive President, Construction  
  • Ms. Katarina-Darkise Marcil, Vice President, Client Experience 
  • Mr. Réal Larin, Director, Acquisitions and Services
  • Mr. Pascal Turbide, Regional Director, Food Division

This milestone also highlighted the importance of family traditions at the heart of Résidences Soleil’s mission, and how these traditions have been passed down through four generations of the Savoie Family. From the first residence built in 1988 to today, it remains a symbol of national excellence: that of building warm, humane, and inspiring living environments.

The speeches were marked by words full of gratitude, humanity, and vision.

« All of Quebec’s seniors should be able to enjoy retirement in a place that is safe, evolving, stimulating and attentive to all their current and future needs. Our extended family is doing everything in its power to ensure this financial peace of mind, and in doing so, we also hope to set an example. If you sow good, you will harvest good!”

Ms. Nataly Savoie and Mr. Eddy Junior Savoie presented door prizes to the birthday honorees, to a shower of cheers and applause. On-site businesses—including a pharmacy, convenience store, hair salon, and foot care clinic—joined in this wonderful tradition, alongside other prizes specially prepared for the occasion.

A 50/50 raffle was even held, with the Savoie Family promising that if their name was drawn, the prize money would be put back into the pool, much to the delight of the participants!

Then, finally, came THE long-awaited sweet moment of the party: the triumphant entrance of the birthday cake! Preceded by her team, Chef Enriquez came out to present her delicious masterpiece to thunderous applause. It was a creation made with love and creativity, with rich, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate and raspberry flavors, topped with vanilla frosting and decorated with colorful decorations.

Meanwhile, the uplifting music grew more energetic, and the dance floor instantly filled up. Some danced standing up, others sitting down, all carried away by the collective joy, set to the rhythm of Danny Wilson, a friend of Résidences Soleil, beloved for his charisma and talent.

A Soleil Tradition: a family rendez-vous

Celebrating the birthdays of all members of the Soleil Family is much more than just a monthly activity: it is a highly anticipated moment, filled with joy and camaraderie, where all generations come together. It is a beautiful moment that reflects our family values and, above all, allows us to cherish those who are dear to us.

For over 36 years, monthly birthday celebrations have brought together residents, couples, centenarians, members of the Select 90 Club, employees, as well as loved ones and families. All birthday guests are honored with a special meal, a delicious homemade cake, and lively musical entertainment, where everyone sings and dances.

Over time, these evenings have become truly unmissable events. Our residents prepare carefully, choosing elegant outfits, adding a touch of makeup, or visiting the Manor Salon for a beauty treatment, to celebrate life, family, and the joy of being together.

A breathtaking panoramic view

As the cake was enjoyed and the party was in full swing, several residents were tempted to take a stroll along the promenade that encircles the building at its summit, offering breathtaking panoramic views. Facing a blazing sunset, it seemed as if the sun too wanted to join the party, dressing the sky in a veil of magnificent orange and pink hues.

“Eating here means seeing life from above, literally! The view is well worth the trip. You feel free and safe here!”

“Every meal is a magical moment. You can see the sunsets over the river, fireworks in the summer, and the city lights in the winter. I never thought I’d experience this in Repentigny.”

Claire M., a Résidences Soleil Manoir Repentigny Resident

And when the last notes of music faded into the orange sky, there remained in the air that sweet feeling that time had stood still… just long enough to engrave a golden memory in everyone’s heart. A first celebration, like a promise of other equally bright tomorrows.
