If you hear horns honking on your street these days, chances are it’s someone’s birthday With public gatherings banned, Vaudreuil residents are getting creative, finding a way to celebrate neighbours’ birthdays during the COVID-19 health crisis. “We need some positivity, we need things to look forward to,” said Special Day Vaudreuil-Soulanges creator Denis Robinson.
Robinson was so moved watching a video of another family’s birthday parade that he decided to create his own Facebook page — Special Day Vaudreuil-Soulanges.
Inviting his neighbours to help, Robinson creates an event specific to each person’s milestone. The group meets on a streetcorner near the unsuspecting celebrant’s houxe, their vehicles decorated using balloons and signs.
