It’s a Great Ending for Cogir’s Villages en Fête Festival with a Mega Video Produced with the Help of the Faire Danser un Village Team

17 August 2021

With life finally returning to a somewhat normal pace, hundreds of our residents, staff members and loved ones from Cogir’s 37 retirement homes throughout the province of Quebec have, during the summer, followed the dancing lead of choreographer and “let-your-hair-down” specialist Maude Lecours and her Faire danser un village team. For everyone’s pleasure, happy memories have been immortalized on video.

“Following the last 17 months, it really warms the cockles of my heart to see all these happy, smiling residents,” admits Ève Lusignan-Legrand, coordinator of project management and leisure development as well as the chief organizer of this major summer project.

“The mission of ‘Faire danser un village’, is to rally people around a major project intended to create unity and happiness. Even when we are apart, we share our joy and let ourselves flow to the rhythm of the music,” declares Maude Lecours.

“We want to provide our residents with happy moments in the company of those who are dear to them. Cogir’s ‘Faire danser les villages’ project is part of the ‘Villages en fête’ festival activities. Thank you to all our residents for making our hearts dance,” adds Claudelle Lavallée, who is not only Cogir’s vice-president of marketing communications, but is also responsible for major leisure projects carried out in residence.

This dance event is part of the summer celebrations held in all our province of Quebec retirement homes for the enjoyment of our residents. These activities include barbecues and shows by Alain Dumas, Maxime Landry, Yoan and Guylaine Tanguay.
