We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mélissa Ouimet for her stay in Kingston, which was highlighted by two memorable events!

First, a big thank you to Visit Kingston and Éric Galarneau, Cultural Facilitator, for making the music workshop at École secondaire publique Mille-Îles possible. Led by Mélissa Ouimet and music teacher Nicholas Jodouin-Lund, this workshop provided young students with a unique opportunity to learn more about the music industry and receive valuable advice. Their enthusiasm and passion for music were evident, and this unforgettable experience surely inspired them to pursue their artistic dreams.

The following day, the Christmas concert at Théâtre Le Sésame was a truly magical moment, with a festive atmosphere that electrified the room. Mélissa delivered a dynamic pop-rock performance while infusing the magic of Christmas with holiday classics in both English and French. A special thank you to Mélissa for taking the time to interact with the audience while selling her products after the show.

We would also like to thank everyone who attended this concert, as well as our volunteers for their invaluable help. A special thanks to our co-presenter, the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est, for their precious support.

Finally, a big thank you to our partners and supporters:
