History

Why was this event created?

Luce and Lucie Rozon aren't only the two organizers of the event - they're twins as well! One day, while participating in a twins rally in Pleucadeuc, Europe, they figured it would be a tremendous idea to offer every twin in Quebec, and in the rest of Canada as well, the chance to be involved in such an event. In 1998, they organized the first Doubles Evening, in which over 1,300 twins participated.
