39th PARLIAMENT, 1st SESSION

EDITED HANSARD • NUMBER 046

Mr. Pierre Lemieux (Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, CPC):  

Mr. Speaker, I would like to inform the House of two activities that will take place this summer in Glengarry-Prescott-Russell.

Three times per week between July 6 and August 17, Francoscénie will present L'écho d'un peuple, a celebration of 400 years of French history in North America and Ontario, and a major production attracting tourists from all over Ontario, Quebec and further afield.

With over 300 actors, singers, dancers and jugglers, this show is a major event for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell.

The second event I would like to highlight is the Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville. With over 60 pipe bands, highland athletes and hundreds of traditional dancers, this event has something for everyone. Almost one million people have found themselves drawn to Maxville to witness an outstanding display of highland music, dance, sports, pageantries and tradition.

This summer Glengarry-Prescott-Russell is where it is at. Venez-nous visiter!
