Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to invite all Quebecers and Canadians to the opening of the one-kilometre long skating rink set up by the Association des chasseurs et pĂȘcheurs de Sainte-Anne-de-Sorel in the magnificent scenery of the Sorel islands.
Visitors will also get the chance to participate in the Carnaval de l'acier, one of the 10 most popular winter events in Quebec, which will be held from February 5 to 14. This year, the city of Tracy will be especially honoured on its 40th anniversary. Ten artists will create a gigantic snow sculpture representing the history and cultural heritage of this community.
Welcome to all in this beautiful setting of Sorel-Tracy which is equally charming during the winter and in the summertime.
