The two surviving Dionne quintuplets will be returning this week to the log cabin where they were born for a ceremony marking their birth as an event of national historic significance.
A spokesman for the sisters says Cecile Dionne and Annette Dionne will be travelling to the home, which is now a museum here for the event on Sunday.
Carlo Tarini says the sisters will be visiting the cabin for the first time in 20 years and have asked to take a photo with local children.
The five Dionne sisters became international sensations upon their birth in 1934 as they were the only known quintuplets at the time to survive for more than a few days.
The Ontario government took the quints from their parents and turned them into a tourist attraction for the first nine years of their lives, bringing in about $500 million to the province.
The quints were born near Corbeil.

Their birth home was bought by the city  brought here in 1985 and turned into a museum dedicated to the family’s story.
The Dionne Museum closed to the public in 2015

The cabin was hauled to the current location last November.
