Hatley is a municipality of about 750 people, in Memphrémagog Regional County Municipality in the Estrie region of Quebec. It lies to the south of the township municipality of the same name.

An otherwise quiet and tiny agricultural setting, one of Hatley's main claims to fame is its annual Canada Day Celebration which always takes place on July 1. Along with a parade (featuring horses, floats, antique cars, tractors, children on decorated bikes and any number of other entrants), the day includes games for children, artisan vendors, a book sale, community lunch, local performers, and ends off with a fireworks display. The family of Mr Stanley Whitcomb, including his daughters and now his grandchildren, has been leading the parade for several decades.
