For the second year running, Centropolis celebrated, from dawn to dusk, the opening of their summer program.

At press time those present on June 21, were to start out with a yoga session for parents and babies at 8 a.m. Followed by several different activities including a Zumba dance class, BBQ, treasure hunt and a cocktail competition. These are some of the activities that will be available until the end of August.

At the end of the day there was a show at the fountain in Place Centrale with musicians, singers, dancers, trapeze and other artists.

On Saturday, July 26, at 6:30 p.m., the brass section of the Laval Symphony Orchestra will give a concert under the stars at Place Central. Maestro OSL, Alain Trudel, will present a show called Mozart to Gershwin. Musicians will mingle with the audience after the concert.

On Thursday, Aug. 21, the film Moulin Rouge will be presented in an open air screening. People are encouraged to dress up in frills, sequins and boas.
