For his part, Mr. Tom Whitton mentioned, “Deux-Montagnes is, by far, the best place to celebrate Canada Day on the North Shore or in the Greater Montreal Region.  I must thank our partners, the City of Deux-Montagnes, the Government of Canada, Desjardins – Caisse de Saint-Eustache/Deux-Montagnes, Selection Deux-Montagnes and Groupe JCL (L’Éveil/Nord-Info) for their substantial contribution to our memorable cultural event.”

As in years past, a parade will kick off the celebrations.  The parade will start at the Royal Canadian Legion at 11 h 45, leading to City Hall, where our national anthem, “O Canada” will be sung.  The parade will then continue on to Central Park.  In naming a Parade Marshall for 2019, the Committee is honoured to recognize not a single person, but all of the employees of the three front-line departments which protected Deux-Montagnes from the flood water all through this past spring:

  • Public Works and Technical Services Department
  • Deux-Montagnes/Sainte-Marthe-Sur-Le-Lac Intermunicipal Fire Department
  • Lac-des-Deux-Montagnes Police Force

The Festivities – New Activities

Starting at 12:30pm, many family activities will be offered: face-painting, train rides, horseshoes tournament, etc.  New for 2019 – pony rides and a giant bubble workshop.

Live music featuring artists from the region will be presented from 3pm right up to midnight.  The headlining band is Persuasion, a tribute to Santana, not forgetting, of course, the spectacular fireworks display, presented by the City of Deux-Montagnes, which will fill the sky at 10:15pm.

A Place for Teens and Young Adults

Thanks to support from Canadian Heritage, a new sub-committee of teens and young adults was form to organize different activities targeting their age group : Virtual Reality Gaming Station, an Escape game, a « Chill Zone », as well as giant games, including Jenga, Foosball and Hungry Hippos.
