residents who spoke a language other than French to be officially recognized.and at the time, Ville de Lennoxville, now a borough of Sherbrooke, was recognized as having bilingual status.whereas the borough wishes to retain such status.whereas the bilingual status of a municipality or a borough is a basic and fundamental democratic right to citizens who live in such municipalities and boroughs, Whereas (Bill 14) removes recognition of bilingual status of a bilingual municipality or borough by decree and against the will of the municipality or borough, its duly elected council, and residents.Whereas the borough of Lennoxville is firmly opposed to said amendments to the charter and to our Order in Council, The Borough of Lennoxville hereby declares that it wishes to retain its bilingual status under both section 29.1 and under section 6 of the ordenin council, now and in the future, and to do so irrespective of any fluctuations in its population shown in census numbers now or in the future; that the residents and the council of the Borough of Lennoxville view the recognition if its bilingual status as a basic democratic right, fundamental to the character of our borough and as a testament of the historical presence and harmony of both English and French speaking communities in Lennoxville.The borough of Lennoxville vigorously opposes any proposed modifications to section 29 and to section six and demands that the Quebec National Assembly continue to recognize the acquired rights of all municipalities and boroughs that currently possess such status and refrain from adopting any legislation that allows section 29 and section 6 to be removed.The Borough of Lennoxville calls upon the members of the Quebec National Assembly to remove the provisions on Bill 14 that propose to amend section 29 and we ask that they vote against or defeat such provisions.The Borough of Lennoxville recommends the municipal council of Sherbrooke adopt a resolution in support of this resolution and that they, too, forward it to the Quebec National Assembly and the Union of municipalities of Quebec.\u201d Stéphane Tétreault CONT\u2019D FORM PAGE 1 the promise of a gift at the end of the year if he played the cello.Consequently, he has never played the violin, and has never looked back.* The young cellist\u2018s career has been marked by achievements.He was the First Prize winner in the Montreal Symphony Orchestra Standard Life-OSM 2007 Competition as well as semi-fi- nalist at both the 2008 Stulberg International String Competition and the 2009 Johansen International String Competition.He placed in the top 20 at the 2008 Geneva International Cello Competition in Switzerland and was selected to participate at the prestigious 2009 Rostropovich Cello Competition in Paris.CORRECTION error occurred on page 5 istry of Economic Development, Faced with such a list of honours at such a young age, it is easy to wonder what shows up as significant to Tétreault.He named three things as the high points of his career to date.\u201cSomething that I think got my name a little more out there was when I did the YouTube symphony orchestra in 2009.even though I wasn\u2019t a soloist or anything, I was just a part of the orchestra, it was still quite great.\u201d Tétreault was the youngest participant - personally selected by Michael Tilson Thomas - to participate in the YouTube Symphony Orchestra, which performed at Carnegie Hall in New York.He also highlighted the \u201cJust to be clear,\u201d Price established near the beginning of Monday night\u2019s borough council meeting, \u201cour case is a little bit different from other municipalities.Our resolution is addressed to the city of Sherbrooke; we can\u2019t address it to the provincial government because we're not a body of the provincial government, we're a body of the city of Sherbrooke.\u201d Having now made the reso lution, it falis to the Sherbrooke City Council to move on the subject.\u201cThe mayor\u2019s already stated his opinion,\u201d Price said, not elaborating on what that opinion was, but indicating that he has no concerns about the city not supporting the decision on the part of the borough to oppose the bill.In speaking with The Record on Tuesday McLaughlin was unable to give a sense of when the City might vote to support the resolution, though he ex pressed a similar sense of support.\u201cThe councillors all tell us personally that the bilingual status for Lennoxville is important,\u201d McLaughlin said, \u201cwell now is the time for them to put their words into action and support us.\u201d Responding to the question of why, when so many other municipalities have come out against the bill across the province, Lennoxville appears to have lain silent, Price clarified that the decision was a matter of strategic timing.\u201cWe purposefully waited on this because we wanted it closer to the public hearings.\u201d Price said, referring to the public hearings on Bill 14 set to start on March 12, \u201cIt gets lost if we come out too early.\u201d \u2018The Borough of Lennoxville conducted a survey in September of 2012 via the Nadeau Bellavance communications firm, which showed the borough\u2019s bilingual status as citizens\u2019 second priority after safety and security.According to McLaughlin these categories both scored significantly higher than any other.\u201cIt\u2019s very important that we stand up and speak out, because these are our rights that are at stake.\u201d McLaughlin shared, speaking to the collaboration with other municipalities which has taken place in order to draft the resolution, as well as the involvement of QCGN, the Quebec Community - Groups Network.\u201cThere\u2019s a lot in there\u201d McLaughlin said of the 33 page bill, pointing out that the proposed changes to the rules about bilingual status are just one small part, \u201cbut it\u2019s critical for the Townships because a lot of municipalities have their status, but don\u2019t have the 50 per cent (English population) anymore, so they'd automatically lose it.\u201d \u201cWe're not just standing up for our borough,\u201d the councillor said of the resolution, \u201cwe're standing up for the larger Townships community.\u201d More information on the National Assembly\u2019s public consultation on Bill 14, and the text of the bill itself, can be found at http://www.assnat.qc.ca recording of his first album earlier this year and being given the honour of playing the 1707 \u201cCountess of Stainlein, Ex-Pa- ganini\u201d Stradivarius, on loan by an anonymous patroness of the arts from Montreal.Tétreault has been in the midst of pursuing a Bachelor\u2019s degree at the University of Montreal under the tutelage of the late Yuli Turovsky.Tétreault attributed his passion for the cello to Turovsky\u2019s influence, and clearly holds great respect for the Soviet-born Canadian cellist, conductor and music educator who died earlier this year.This Saturday\u2019s concert will not be Tétreault\u2019s first trip to Shebrooke, as he recalled many sent at the event, which was n Ac the Feb.22 edition of The \"Innovation and Export Trade of the case.ecord.In the article about Quebec (MDEIE) were pre- Bishop\u2019s University students visiting early mornings spent travelling from Montreal to Sherbrooke for Provincial level music competitions, but he pointed out that this will be his first time working with the SSO.He expressed great faith in the orchestra\u2019s conductor, Stéphane Laforest, whom he said he had enjoyed working with before.Regarding the Concerto, Tétreault shared that it is well known among cellists, \u201cit\u2019s our first major concerto that we start playing when we\u2019re maybe 12-13 years old, and we play it all our lives.\u201d He spoke briefly of the complexity of the piece, saying that, \u201cwhen I look back at when I was 12, I sort of wonder how in the world I played it, because it\u2019s quite difficult.\u201d Tétreault estimated having spent close to 100 hours on the piece in performance, discussion and practice with his teacher, and hundreds of hours more all together throughout his 12 years of playing.Saturday\u2019s concert will be at 8 p.m.at the Maurice-O\u2019Bready Hall of the Cultural Centre of the University of Sherbrooke.Tickets are $53 ($40 for students),
