Every two years, the municipality of Saint-Laurent-des-Hommes organizes a meeting to welcome new residents. This year, the small ceremony took place on Wednesday, November 13, in the association hall, giving these new Laurentians the opportunity to get to know their municipality, their elected officials, their associations and merchants.
Mayor Michel Donnette presented the municipal team before giving the floor to various representatives of associations: municipal library, parents of students (the Lionceaux), Saint-Laurent de France, music school, festival committee, residents of the landfill center and cultural association Cult’Art. Everyone was able to give an overview of everything that exists in Saint-Laurent.
This evening was also an outstretched hand to the new residents of the town. Although it has just over a thousand inhabitants, Saint-Laurent offers a fairly remarkable diversity of activities. From the music school – welcoming 150 amateurs – to Cult’Art (15 different workshops and no less than 140 members), via the Secular Association (yoga, travel) or the festival committee, the possibilities of there is no shortage of investing in a very rich community life.
