Jeaurond says the movie ‘Le Coq de St-Victor’ was chosen because of the positive message it portrays about villages uniting together and how everyone within a community has a role to play. “(The Optimist Club) wanted to build a new stage last year but things didn’t work out, but now it’s kind of perfect timing because they will be able to build it (while the park is shut down due to COVID-19),” Jeaurond noted. Admission to the drive-in movie showings will be in the form of a voluntary donation of any amount to the organization and will go towards the stage project. Current funds raised are to go to the project to build a new stage for performers at Island Park, which has been without one since the old stage was torn down two years ago. MiEV is a non-profit organization started by Jeaurond to raise funds for the local community. “It will be every second weekend for now, but we might do events in other places such as Lancaster or Maxville.” “Because this is a special event (for National Indigenous People’s Day and St-Jean Baptiste) everything is in French for the weekend, but after that we will probably alternate between an English movie and a French movie,” Jeaurond noted.

MiEV and the Optimist Club plan to again hold bi-weekly movie showings throughout the summer at the old drive-in and the movies will alternate between French and English. However, with the closure of the park this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Jeaurond contacted the owner of the old Ski-Hi Drive-in property to request permission to show the movies at the site which has been closed for more than two decades.

MiEV founder Josée Jeaurond said the movies will be shown on a large portable outdoor screen owned by the Optimist Club, which has been used to show drive-in movies at the club’s bi-weekly ‘Social Saturdays’ events for the past four summers at Alexandria’s Island Park. The film played on June 20 will be ‘Le Coq de St-Victor’ – an animated family comedy which will be shown in its original French-language version as part of a celebration for both National Indigenous People’s Day and St-Jean Baptiste.
