Blue and white were the colours of the day as Quebec residents gathered at Parc des Cèdres in Aylmer along the Ottawa River to celebrate Saint Jean Baptiste Day, Wednesday, June 24, 2015.

In 1977, the celebration was officially declared as being the Fête Nationale du Québec, or the Quebec national holiday, by the Lieutenant-Governor Hugues Lapointe, under the advice of then Premier René Lévesque. June 24 is a paid statutory holiday in the province, covered under the Act Respecting Labour Standards. Although religious ties have all but disappeared from Quebec’s celebration of the holiday, people still refer to June 24 as “la Saint-Jean.”


The Quebec flag was proudly displayed on the beach at Parc des Cèdres in Aylmer along the Ottawa River.
