About us

Regional networks

Regional networks oversee all clubs in their regions. They develop programming and services for people age 50 and over and provide development and operational support for clubs. They have a two-pronged mandate that involves meeting the needs of Réseau FADOQ and the clubs in their region:

Provincial needs

• Consolidate and attract new members
• Convey Réseau FADOQ’s policies and vision
• Participate in Réseau FADOQ programs
• Represent Réseau FADOQ in dealings with regional bodies

Club needs

• Provide information
• Provide training
• Provide services
• Listen to the clubs
• Represent the clubs
• Provide funding

Clubs

Each club brings together retired and working people age 50 and over from the same parish, neighbourhood, or region. Local clubs are a gateway to Réseau FADOQ and they organize and manage activities for their members.

Each club has independent decision-making power, organizing activities and providing services for members based on their needs, preferences, and interests. They are ideal places for overcoming loneliness.

In Mauricie, many sports activities are organized by local clubs. Other activities are offered by the regional and provincial networks via local clubs. Each week, almost 20% of Réseau FADOQ members actively participate in activities organized by their local clubs.
