Canada

The Petits Chanteurs de Laval are from Quebec in Canada. That is the part of Canada where they speak French. The Petits Chanteurs de Laval are very similar to the Petits Chanteurs à la Croix de Bois in Paris, same type of foundation and very similar uniform - open neck shirt, sweater, shorts & white socks...




The choir was founded in 1981 when it was a boys only choir


It doesn't seem to have happened in France, Germany, Austria yet but in Canada like here in the UK the choir now has girls. I don't know if it is the same over there but what happened here is that choirs used to be something the boys did and were good at and you were proud. Now since girls can do it too, its nothing special any more and the lads go off and play football instead. Choirs have become a girly thing and boys don't want to be thought of like that so most boys choirs are finding it pretty hard to get new people to join. This is what the choir looks like now


Like the Petits Chanteurs à la Croix de Bois they wear Aubes for singing sacred music or for religious ceremonies


Here are two more of how the choir used to look before combining with the Voix Boréals and mixing with girls
