This year, the Péladeau Family is proud to be celebrating its 50 years as a family owned business.

After Jeannine and Jacques retired in 2001 from their lifetime achievement, they passed on their legacy to the youngest of their three sons, Sylvain.

Along with my wife Josée, our two sons Zack and Josh and our team, we are proudly celebrating our 20 th year as owners of Cedar Shade Campground.

Growing up on the campground as a child and taking over a family business has been a privilege for me as well as a dream come true.

Péladeau Camping was what the campground was known for many years ago and still today people remember it as that name. During the takeover 20 yrs ago, we decide to name it Cedar Shade Campground. We got the name after discovering that the founders, Jeannine and Jacques, originally wanted to call the campsite "À l'Ombre des Cèdres", but this never really took effect and it became Camping Péladeau at the time.

We are grateful to still be operating as a family business 20 yrs after takeover. Every business has its core reasons for being successful and our success is due to our staff and clients, family and friends.

We are immensely proud of the amazing team that has grown here at Cedar Shade, their dedication to us and providing value to our clients, sharing our vision of growing our campground and fostering a positive, diverse and fun working environment makes coming to work a joy each day.

To our valued customers who trust us and continue to support us, thank you for allowing us to serve you in the best way possible as this has a measurable impact on our business. We are grateful for all the encouragement you give us, it excites us and drives us to continually improve and evolve.

To our friends and family who believed in us from the beginning when the light was dim; we thank you for all your love and support. We are grateful for your moral support and contribution.

We couldn’t end this speech without mentioning the great team of campers who volunteer year after year; how the team has grown into passionate and dedicated volunteers who are devoted into bringing the campground a variety of activities for the whole family!

We love our business and the people. Our vision is to continue to offer great service to our clients for many years to come. We understand that it’s impossible to satisfy our clients 100% of the time, we try our very best to make our clients happy and we are always open to learn and evolve. We want to continue to bring good changes to the campground while ensuring the happiness and pleasure of all.

In conclusion, I would like to take this time to honor my parents and thank them for having faith in me and my family, for teaching what I know today in order to carry on what they started 50 yrs ago.

We invite you to come visit our campground meet us personally along with our great team of employees. It will be our pleasure to serve you. Josée, Sylvain, Zack, Josh and the team!
