Join us for a grand celebration of the Francophonie as we mark both Franco-Ontarian Day and the 25th anniversary of the 2001 Games of La Francophonie.

The evening will conclude with a special show featuring artists whose careers were marked by the memorial fund. An opportunity to celebrate our pride, our culture and the Francophone legacy that continues to thrive today.
Featuring Mélissa Ouimet, Yao, Sébastien Leroux, Bruny Surin, the choir from Rockland’s École secondaire catholique L’Escale and many more! Hosted by Michel Picard.
