Opening Ceremony with Les Petits Chanteurs du Nord
The official launch of the 75th anniversary celebrations will take place in a performance directed by Hélène Dallaire, presented on the stage of the Grande Salle at Place des Arts in Greater Sudbury.
For the occasion, Les Petits Chanteurs du Nord, our children’s choir (under the direction of Anne Quesnelle in collaboration with the Sudbury Symphony Orchestra), will be part of the ceremony.
Expo Idéale
The public is invited to the opening of the Ideal Exhibition, a large-scale exhibition spread across three floors of Place des Arts in Greater Sudbury. Designed as an immersive and participatory experience, it offers a journey inspired by the world of the “Where’s Waldo?” game, allowing younger generations to discover the origins and foundations of their cultural heritage, while offering older generations the opportunity to revisit their memories in an evocative and playful setting.
