The City of Rosemère announced the return—after a two-year pause—of the White on White cultural event, June 10-12, at Pioneer Park. With “The Venetian Ball” as its theme, the event is being organized by the Rosemère Artists Gathering (RAG) and is financially supported by the city, the Corporation de développement culturel et sportif de Rosemère (CDCSR) and several other sponsors. The city also provides assistance for setting up the event as well as for the loan of equipment and personnel for the technical aspects of the activity. Mayor Eric Westram is pleased to once again be welcoming this summer event that showcases local artists:
“It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to hold a cultural event like White on White on our territory. We have said it before and we will continue to say it in the future: culture in Rosemère is of the utmost importance. We hope to see a large number of residents here, all dressed in their best white clothes,” he stated. As usual, White on White is a free event that presents an original, diversified program, including a number of interactive workshops:
