We would like to inform you that the employees of the Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth are currently on lockout. The management team is working closely with negotiators to resolve the labour dispute. However, despite all efforts, it is possible that this situation will persist during the Montréal Wood Convention.
The organizing committee has deemed it essential to proceed with the event despite the challenges this situation may bring.
Impact on Participant’s Activities
There will be no changes to the 2025 Program. The current situation would not affect any program items. Rooms availabilities are the same and we are dedicated to delivering an event that will meet your expectations. However, this unfortunate situation might create some circumstances where hotel staff cannot answer your needs right away or provide you with the same level of care that you were used to.
Impact on Hotel Services
The hotel’s restaurants, café, bar, and artisan market will be closed for the duration of your stay. For the bar, we are currently working on an alternative location, stay tuned! Also, a list of the nearby best restaurants and coffee places will be made available to you so you can enjoy Montreal’s finest.
If you have booked a room, please note that some services will be affected: there will be no housekeeping or room service during your stay. If you need fresh towels, you will need to go to the front desk.
If you haven't found the answers to your questions on the website, please contact us at info@montrealwoodconvention.com.
Enjoy the convention!
