Clyde et Vincent Cornect parlent à propos du travail saisonnier, de la pêche et de l’industrie forestière. Ils parlent d’éducation, de famille, du rôle de la langue française dans la communauté, et parlent des prêtres qui parlent français. Ils parlent des noms de familles en français qui ont étés anglicisés, par exemple Leblanc qui est devenu 'White' et Dubois qui est devenu 'Woods'. Ils parlent du changement de l’épellation, mais pas la prononciation, de Cornac/Cornect. Ils racontent comment La Grand'Terre a eu son nom, et à qui appartient maintenant l'Ile Rouge. Ensuite il y a de la musique, de la dancse et de la conversation avec les autres personnes dans la salle.
