Le Choeur Du Moulin

Le Choeur Du Moulin is a Canadian nonprofit organization and registered charity (Business Registration Number: 119011500RR0001) based in Ontario. It is dedicated to promoting French Canadian culture and heritage through music and choral performance, primarily serving the Prescott-Russell region and the City of Clarence-Rockland.

History and Mission

Le Choeur Du Moulin was established to preserve and celebrate Franco-Ontarian cultural traditions by performing choral works, particularly in French. The choir actively contributes to the cultural life of the local Francophone community by organizing concerts and participating in cultural events throughout the region.

Activities and Outreach

The choir performs regularly in churches and venues across Prescott-Russell and Clarence-Rockland, especially during the spring and Christmas seasons. These concerts serve a dual purpose: showcasing French Canadian musical heritage and raising funds to support local charitable causes. Rehearsals take place at École Ste-Trinité, and the choir is seeking a permanent performance hall to enhance its activities.

Community Impact

Le Choeur Du Moulin plays a significant role in the cultural programming of the City of Clarence-Rockland and surrounding communities. It works closely with local institutions and has been recognized for its cultural contributions. The organization advocates for increased municipal investment in cultural infrastructure and programming, including the appointment of a cultural coordinator to support local arts organizations[4][5].

Recognition and Support

As a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency, Le Choeur Du Moulin is part of the network of nonprofit organizations contributing to the arts and heritage sector in Ontario. The City of Clarence-Rockland offers support to the choir and similar organizations through municipal grants programs and technical assistance to help sustain their operations and community presence[1][5].

By fostering French Canadian culture through choral music and community engagement, Le Choeur Du Moulin remains a vital cultural institution within the Franco-Ontarian community.
