About
This celebration officially opens the Festival du Voyageur. Join us around a splendid symbolic fire placed in front of the “We Dream of Flying Canoes” sculpture, created from the remains of Whitier Park’s great elm tree. The Official Voyageurs, the Régnier family, will recreate the May Ceremony, a voyageur tradition to honour absent members and remember friends from along the way. We will also unveil the latest Order of the Capote inductee, honoring an individual who has distinguished themselves as a dedicated volunteer in the community as well as for Festival du Voyageur. A fireworks display presented by Archangel Fireworks will close the celebration.
