Named after the Christian hallow Saint Valentine, the community has lately[when?] been trying to capitalize on its name as a destination for lovers. A Festival de la Saint-Valentin is held every February, along with a St. Valentine's Day Mass. The post office frequently receives letters from around the world to postmark.[5]
