Page 4 Feast of Tabernacles 2022Mont-Tremblant,
Québec
This year, we are planning to hold the Feast of Tabernacles at Mont-Tremblant, meeting at the Microtel
Inn and Suites, which is located 6 miles from the mountainside village. Mont-Tremblant is a bustling
village in both winter and summer, as well as a quiet place to escape in the fall. A nest of shops,
restaurants, spas and hotels lines the lower slopes of this gigantic mountain. Most of the French Alps–
style buildings are linked by pedestrian-friendly, cobblestone streets. Surrounding golf courses are
some of Québec’s best. The pretty Lac Tremblant lies just below the village and is home to one of the
area’s many popular multipurpose trails.
Services will be held in English and in French, alternating each day between the two languages, with
translation available.
The Microtel Inn is a Wyndham property that opened its doors in the fall of 2018. The hotel offers
standard rooms, as well as studio suites with kitchenettes. There is even a special rate for renting two
adjoining rooms for a three-queen, two-bath suite with kitchenette. As well, numerous off-site housing
options are available nearby, including Fairmont, Westin, Holiday Inn, Residence Inn and many more.
We hope you will join us this year to keep the Feast at Mont-Tremblant! To register to attend, please
follow the standard Feast registration process. If you have questions or are considering spending the
Feast in Québec this year, please contact Daniel Harper at daniel.harper@cogwa.org.
