After a 4-year absence, the Saint-François-sur-le-Lac parish's annual bazaar is back. The public is invited to part with and give a second life to items such as clothing, crockery, books, toys, hardware, furniture and so on.

You can bring them to the Saint-Zotique church on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. from Tuesday, May 7 to Friday, May 24. 

In addition to benefiting the community, it's also a means of raising funds to keep the region's churches in good working order and physical condition. The parish comprises four churches: Sainte-Marie in the Municipalité des Coteaux, Saint-Ignace in Coteau-du-Lac, Saint-Zotique in Saint-Zotique and Sainte-Claire-d'Assise in Rivière-Beaudette.

The bazaar will be held on June 1, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the basement of the Saint-Zotique church at 1176 rue Principale.
