Centre Culturel La Ronde has put together three cultural activities for francophones of all ages coming up in the next few weeks.
The centre’s executive director Lisa Bertrand said she is trying to promote La Ronde and all the amazing French cultural activities.
“Because I want to pass it on from generation to generation,” Bertrand said. “We have such a beautiful culture, and I want to share it. I want to make sure we don’t forget where we came from.”
Here are the events:
Saturday, Nov 27 – Le Noël des Petits
- The event is geared for La Ronde’s members and their children aged 10 and under. It's being held at the centre on Kent Avenue. The day will start with the interactive Kalimba show at 11 a.m. followed by Santa Claus’ visit. Santa’s elves will help distribute the presents to the children in attendance.
Saturday, Dec. 4 – Party de Noël du Bel Âge
- Geared toward adults over 55 years old, the event will feature Le Groupe Méga. The party will be held at Paroisse Notre Dame De La Paix. Doors open at 4 p.m. followed by a dinner at 5:30 p.m. The show starts at 8 p.m.
Friday, Dec. 10 – Party de Nöel - 53e Anniversaire
- This party is celebrating La Ronde’s 53rd anniversary and honouring the retiring Le Chœur chantant du Bel Âge. The Sudbury-based band Nacho Jam with Dayv Poulin will provide live entertainment. The cover band plays music of all genres including old-school French music. Held at McIntyre Community Centre, cocktails start at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. and a show at 8 p.m.
