On Thursday July 1, the Paspébiac National Historic Site celebrates Canada Day with a few activities.

2 p.m.: Dominick Briand show

On the outdoor stage opposite the LeBoutillier Hangar, the Paspébiac artist offers us a simple show, guitar in hand.

A native of Port-Daniel, Dominick Briand has participated in many projects and has distinguished himself on the various stages of the Gaspé for several years. The wide variety of his repertoire allows him to present a show that reflects its cultural diversity: from the big names in French song to country music classics without forgetting of course some great Canadian legends such as Leonard Cohen and Gordon Lightfoot.

The Paspébiac National Historic Site is the perfect setting to present this concert outdoors, in a setting enhanced by unique historic buildings with ample space to meet the demands of social distancing.

Bring your chair!

4 p.m.: VIP visit of the Curator

In the company of our curator, discover the importance of cod in the founding of Canada with a special outdoor tour of the historic heart of the Robin Company.

This will be the opportunity to enter the Poudrière (1788), one of the oldest buildings in the Gaspé. Also on the program: interpretation of the Flour Shed, the safe and the remains of the terrible fire of 1964.

Surprises are also on the menu for this festive afternoon.

All activities are free.
