2) Decorations


3) Activities for children


4) Music 


5) Québec National Day's big show 2022


6) Movies and series from Québec


7) Food menus (including vegan options)

This Hamper is a nod to the Québec Government’s initiative, Le Panier Bleu (the Blue Basket), which promotes home-produced goods. Inside, you will find selected links to locate these Québec products in the UK. Our team also advises you on how you can use alternative local products for certain recipes.  


 


1) Competition - Win a pair of tickets for Cirque du Soleil 


To celebrate our 60th anniversary in the UK and Québec’s National Day, the Québec Government Office in London (QGOL) is organising an online competition. A pair of tickets for Cirque du Soleil's show Cortéo at the O2 Arena in London on July 13, 2022 is up for grabs!


To play*, simply post a photo or video of you celebrating Québec’s National Day or our 60th anniversary on Twitter or Instagram between June 24th and 26th and add "#FêteNationale @QuebecUK" to your message. **



To increase your chances of winning, you can post several times (with a different photo/video).


* This contest is only open to residents of the UK, Ireland, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland.

2) Decorations


To adorn your house with the colours of Québec, we have designed bunting to put up at home; with a little something about our 60th anniversary. There are also flags and banners to colour in to avoid using an entire cartridge of blue ink! This is a great activity to do with children. You will need paper, a printer if possible, ribbons and colouring pencils. Click the link to download our bespoke bunting.



3) Activities for children


We have prepared some colouring for your little ones. This includes colouring of the magnificent facade of our office in London (special 60th anniversary); Children can include family, schoolmates, animals, or even landscapes in the windows.  We encourage you to post your children's masterpieces on Twitter and Instagram between the 24th and 26th of June 2022 (with the hashtag #FêteNationale and the tag @QuebecUK) as part of our 2022 Québec National Day competition. Download our pack of six coloring pages.
