Upon completion of the sale, EPR Properties will lease La Ronde to a newly formed entity, La Ronde Opérations. This company will be responsible for the park’s operations. Kieran Burke, the head of La Ronde Opérations, also oversees Village Vacances Valcartier in Quebec and Calypso Water Park in Limoges, Ontario.
Commitment to Visitors

A Brief History of La Ronde
La Ronde was originally opened in 1967 on Île Sainte-Hélène as part of the World Expo. The City of Montreal sold the park to Six Flags in 2001, marking a significant transition in its ownership. With this new acquisition, EPR Properties aims to continue the legacy of La Ronde as a beloved destination for amusement park enthusiasts.
