Granby Giant Omelette Get-Together
Gaz propane Rainville inc. supports the Granby Giant Omelette Get-Together, in which a giant, 15 000-egg omelette is prepared and served to the public for free. The event is a symbol of friendship among the Francophonie and has been a tradition in Granby for over 20 years. The event began when a doctor from the region attended a similar event in Bessières, France and invited the participants to come to Quebec. It takes place on June 24 at Daniel-Johnson Park in Granby at about 3:00 pm. Everyone is invited to taste the omelette free of charge after having helped prepare it. The omelette is made of 15 000 eggs, 20 litres of oil and secret ‘Grand Master’ spices and cooked in a gigantic pan that has a telephone pole as a handle!
The motto: la grandeur des folies et l’amitié en plus makes it possible for participants of the get-together, who represent all sorts of professions, to develop meaningful friendships with people from around the world, which is the main objective of the event.
L’Association de la Colonie de Vacances de Granby inc.
La Colonie de Vacances de Granby (Granby Summer Camp) is a non-profit organization based in Granby that has been helping underprivileged children for 68 years.
The Colonie’s mission is to send kids from low-income families to summer camps that are adapted for them in order to develop their self-confidence. These daycamps and overnight camps provide many stimulating activities for the children. At camp, they learn to test their limits, develop their self-esteem and create friendships. The committee of the Colonie de Vacances de Granby is made up of local people who are concerned about the well-being of our children. We organize several fundraising activities throughout the year, which makes it possible to send between 75 and 100 local kids to camp every summer.
