Our recent interview with Catherine Trudeau seems to have opened the floodgates. For almost a month, Perfect Moments viewers have been flooding our email inbox with messages in which they express their disappointment at the cancellation of the series by author Marc Robitaille.

The seventh edition of the annual meeting for young people aged 13 to 17 will be led by 10 personalities: Anas Hassouna, Chloée Deblois, Claudia Bouvette, Éléonore Lagacé, Étienne Galloy, Félix-Antoine Tremblay, Irdens Exantus, Mégan Brouillard, Schelby Jean- Baptiste and Tom-Éliot. On the program, sketches (Barbie, Survivor Québec and Mario Bros), songs and, of course, badge presentations to highlight the significant gestures of 2023.

As for the rearranged classics that we will be able to hear, let’s quote Brush, brush, brush, Good sleep, Mr. cat, Vegetables, Summer (it’s made for playing), I have two eyes and Bedon bedondaine.
