Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to announce three venerable anniversaries taking place in 2024: the 175th anniversary of the municipality of Saint‑Lazare‑de‑Bellechasse, the 200th anniversary of Sainte‑Claire, and the 275th anniversary of the founding of Saint‑Charles‑de‑Bellechasse. These three municipalities in the Bellechasse RCM are among the oldest in my riding, each with a rich and impressive history. The sons and daughters of these three villages cleared and settled the land, building farms, schools, convents and businesses whose renown extends beyond our borders, including Versaprofiles, Prevost and duBreton. Some of them achieved show business stardom, such as Marthe Laverdière and Noémie O'Farrell. Others made a name for themselves in professional sports, like Christian Laflamme. This summer, thousands of former residents will be coming back to the villages they once called home for a big reunion. The festivities will have something for everyone, as each municipality has a wide range of activities planned. I extend my heartfelt wishes to these three municipalities for a happy anniversary and joyous celebrations.
