Mr. Speaker, too many people are unaware that Félix Leclerc lived in Vaudreuil for 20 years.
On June 15, the fourth annual family picnic will be held at the former home of Félix Leclerc. The purpose of the event is to remind people of all ages of the importance of this great man to Quebec and to help preserve the historic Maison Félix-Leclerc. Admission is free.
A number of activities are planned, including a presentation by students from Marguerite-Bourgeoys school. The theme of the presentation is “Moi et mes souliers”—the title of a Félix Leclerc song. Local artist Monica Brinkman will also create a mosaic.
Just down the lake road, Hudson's StoryFest welcomes Michael Ondaatje this year.
The Hudson Village Theatre's 21st summer season will be starting on June 12 under the artistic direction of Heather Markgraf. The 2013 season features four great Canadian live plays for the whole family to enjoy.
I am looking forward to these activities. All members should come along and we will have a chat in Jack Layton Park and enjoy the summer in Vaudreuil--Soulanges.
