Casino du Lac Leamy fireworks and music show moving this summer
By Ottawa Citizen, Ottawa Citizen February 15, 2014
OTTAWA — Casino du Lac-Leamy’s annual fireworks show will move to a new location this summer, as it sets up for the first time at the newly renamed Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau — with fireworks being launched over the Ottawa River.
The event, being held on Aug. 2-16, has typically brought international teams to the region for the fireworks-set-to-music show.
Event president Claude Hamelin said that after 18 years of hosting the event at Leamy Lake organizers believed it was time for a change of venue. Casino du Lac-Leamy has renewed its title sponsorship of the event for three more years, a release noted.
“As a gateway into Quebec, the Outaouais region needs to develop its potential,” Hamelin said in the statement. “The Sound of Light team wants to brighten up this gateway while providing new opportunities for the tourism industry in the area. By participating in the revitalization of downtown core, we will increase the event’s appeal by making it more inviting to individuals from here and abroad.”
