Though it seems we aren't totally out of the woods yet, 2022 is the Year of the Return. This time, it was the return of the Canada Day festivities in Greenfield Park. This year, after a two year absence due to 'The Plague', the Ville de Longueuil and Longueuil est Culture organized another star studded concert was in the works, but to get us there was our host for the evening, comedian Derrick Frenette. He got the crowd going with his stand-up routine and also kept the good times rolling during the set changes between the artists. To kick off the evening, he was joined on stage by several local politicians for some ceremonial speeches and the singing of O'Canada. Up first were Greenfield Park city councillors Sylvain Joly, Eric Normandin and Susan Rasmussen. They were followed on stage by long serving local Liberal Party of Québec Member of Parliament Nicole Menard and Liberal Party of Canada of Canada Federal Member of Parliament Sherry Romanado. With the speeches out of the way, the flag was lowered and the National Anthem was sung by Barbara Secours. Cupcakes organized to look like the flag were distributed to those in attendance as everyone enjoys a little snack. After that, it was show time. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/800sec, ISO 1600 at 70mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/1000sec, ISO 1600 at 70mm, Here are several more photographs from this part of the show.
