Mr. Speaker, I am proud to pay tribute to the city of Saint-Philippe, which just wrapped up its 275th anniversary celebrations.
On Saturday, December 7, the people of Saint-Philippe joined together for a massive Christmas party, which was the culmination of a very successful year-long celebration.
I want to congratulate Saint-Philippe, its mayor, Johanne Beaulac, and the entire city council for giving people a chance to discover or rediscover this city's history and for creating unique opportunities for families to celebrate.
I also want to recognize Marie-Josée Roy, the director of the recreation department, who masterminded a full year of events for the public to enjoy.
Congratulations to everyone near and far who participated in this very special year. Happy 275th birthday to Saint-Philippe.
