Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House to highlight the 40th edition of the Salon des métiers d'art de Boucherville, an artisan market that will run from November 1 to 3, 2024.
With the exception of a two-year hiatus during the pandemic, this market has been held annually since its inaugural year in 1982. It is successful. Every year, thousands of visitors flock to find unique and original creations for their holiday gifts or for themselves.
This success is due in large part to its wonderful, dedicated and passionate volunteer president, who is celebrating 30 years at the helm. My warmest congratulations to Renée Lavoie. I would also like to take this opportunity to commend the contribution of the committee members who support her in her mission, namely, Céline Lozeau, Suzanne Hindson, Isabell Ross and Nathalie Métivier.
I would like to thank them for promoting the talent of Quebec's artists and artisans, helping them shine and offering them such wonderful visibility.
