7 villages, 10,000 residents and nearly 400 square kilometres of land. That's a lot of space for festivals and special events organized by the community, but it also leaves room for great activities for our residents and out-of-town guests. Here's what your municipality has to offer this summer!

Movie Nights

Organized by the recreation department and in partnership with the public libraries and Alliance-Curran and their summer markets. You're invited to free movie nights at 7:30 p.m. on Friday evenings at the Curran Forum.

  • June 14 at 7:30 p.m.: Super Mario Bros. Le film (2023) (French version)
  • July 19 at 7:30 p.m.: Encanto (2021) (English version)
  • August 16 at 7:30 p.m.: The Little Mermaid (2023) (English version)
  • September 20 at 7:30 p.m.: Gran Turismo (2023) (English version)

There will be a canteen on site. The film will start after the market. Bring your blankets and pillows. In September, the film presentation will take place outdoor; the other 3 presentations will take place in the community hall.

A Brooklyn plumber named Mario travels through the Mushroom Kingdom with a princess named Peach and an anthropomorphic mushroom named Toad to find Mario's brother, Luigi, and to save the world from a ruthless fire-breathing Koopa named Bowser.
Encanto tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal-every child except one, Mirabel. 
The youngest of King Triton's daughters, Ariel is a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. Longing to find out more about the world beyond the sea, Ariel visits the surface and falls for the dashing Prince Eric. Following her heart, she makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to experience life on land.
It's a family feel-good movie based on the unbelievable, inspiring true story of a team of underdogs - a struggling, working-class gamer, a failed former race car driver, and an idealistic motorsport exec - who risk it all to take on the most elite sport in the world.
