Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to mark the 50th anniversary of an organization in my constituency, the Association de Chasse et Pêche de Contrecoeur. The organization, which mainly brings together duck hunting and ice fishing enthusiasts, is renowned for its famous Festival de la Brimbale, where a temporary village is set up on the river during the brief period when the St. Lawrence freezes over. These are magical moments that allow both enthusiasts and those who dabble to get together with family and friends in a setting like no other. People from all generations head outdoors during the coldest part of winter to enjoy nature and all it has to offer together. The association holds a significant record, and not just any record at that. Since 2016, it has held the record for the world's largest tip-up, or brimbale. I am proud to have been there for its inauguration 10 years ago. In closing, I would like to offer the entire organization, as well as its president, René Béland, my warmest congratulations on this 50th anniversary.
