ROSEMÈRE, April 23, 2020 – Due to the present COVID-19 pandemic, the Town of Rosemère is forced to cancel or postpone a number of spring and summer activities.

"We are very disappointed by this decision, but in view of the situation we are facing at the present time, we must follow the Québec government's orders and put the health and safety of our residents first. We usually have a very active community life and always with a large turnout of Rosemerites. Let's encourage each other by telling ourselves that it will all be back," stated Mayor Eric Westram.

Here are the majority of the events, activities or shows that have been cancelled or postponed. The Town nevertheless invites residents to check the website in order to view the complete list.
