At École Père Mercure celebrates "the winter carnival" with enthusiasm for heritage and French culture.
At the same time the school is also able to foster a sense of community and pride.
Carnival traditions have evolved from our ancestors and École Père Mercure students and staff are honoured to celebrate them every year.
Afternoon activities included a carnival movie, outdoor games and story writing.
This year, the students received a special treat - beaver tails. A deep fried pastry, shaped like a beaver's tail and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon.
Evening activities included a potluck supper, sleigh rides and a campfire.
Also shared was traditional toffee on the snow, which consists of boiled maple syrup drizzled over fresh packed snow. Roll it up on a wooden Popsicle stick and enjoy!
