Exhibition on La Rolland at the Old Train Station in Saint-Jérôme.

• "La Grande Tablée" celebration for current and retired employees >>>

During the 19th century in Quebec, at the time of the summer solstice, it was customary to get all villagers together for what was called "La Grande Tablée". This event celebrated ever since on June 24 and associated with Saint-Jean-Baptiste day is still celebrated with so much conviction, that we have chosen to celebrate the 125th anniversary of La Rolland on this date.

• Employee picnic >>>

It is in memory of one of the most famous picnics at La Rolland, in 1916 on the land of the Gray Nuns in the middle of the village of Saint-Jérôme, that we organized the new La Rolland picnic during the Jérô-fête, part of the Estivales de Saint-Jérôme. A number of activities were planned throughout the day, including an outdoor concert, a marching band and a parade.
