Le Massif ski resort northeast of Quebec City to partially reopen during strike

By Canadian Press on January 5, 2026.

A major ski resort northeast of Quebec City says it will partially reopen this week while its 300 unionized workers are on unlimited general strike.

Le Massif de Charlevoix says its doors will open from Wednesday to Saturday between 9:15 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. in the Camp-Boule sector — but only for season passholders, ski-and-stay package guests, and guests of Club Med Québec-Charlevoix.

The resort says that in subsequent weeks it will be open between Tuesday and Saturday for the same limited type of guests.

One of the province’s most renowned winter playgrounds had suspended operations on Friday after its unionized workforce walked off the job.

The limited reopening during the strike means cafeteria and bar services, as well as the workshop and boutique, remain closed.

The collective agreement for the 300 employees expired on Dec. 31, with wages a main point of contention during negotiations.
