June 29, 2021 Bishop\u2019s community taking new steps to be more inclusive Granby vaccination site being relocated Record Staff The CIUSSS de l\u2019Estrie \u2013 CHUS has announced that the vaccination centre in Granby will be moved to the Galeries de Granby shopping mall on rue Évangéline as of this Wednesday, June 30.The move will take place over the course of the day on Tuesday, with activities getting started on Wednesday as soon as the vaccines are on site.Individuals whose appointment is to take place on Wednesday in Granby should go directly to the new site, park in the lot off Simonds Street North, and enter by door six.A total of 8,053,529 doses of vaccine had been administered in Québec as of Monday morning which, combined with 21,268 doses administered to Quebecers outside of the province, meant a cumulative total of 8,074,797 doses received by Quebecers so far.This coverage accounts for a ?rst dose in 70.9 per cent of the population (or 81 per cent of the population 12 and up), and adequate vaccination in 26.3 per cent.Updated information on the vaccination campaign in the Eastern Townships is expected during the day on Tuesday, but 453,651 doses had been administered in total as of Monday.The Eastern Townships reported six new cases of COVID-19 over the weekend, all of which were in the Haute-Yamaska area.This brought the total number of cases in the region since March of 2020 to 14,886, only 18 of which are still considered active.The number of deaths linked to the GORDON LAMBIE Bishop\u2019s University Pride Alliance co-lead Gillian MacLean, Vice-Principal Academic Miles Turnbull, Students\u2019 Representative Council President Enzo Evangelisti, and Principal Michael Goldbloom make their way across the new rainbow crosswalk on campus.By Gordon Lambie A crowd of more than forty students, staff members and other members of the Bishop\u2019s University community were on hand Monday afternoon for a small ceremony to inaugurate a new rainbow crosswalk on campus.\u201cThe rainbow crosswalk is a symbol reminding the community that hate is not tolerated here,\u201d said Gillian MacLean, co-lead of the Bishop\u2019s University Pride Alliance (BUPA), explaining that the symbolic gesture is a part of a larger global movement in support of sexual and gender diversity.\u201cIt is a reminder that the ?ght for LGBTQ rights doesn\u2019t end when pride month does.\u201d According to MacLean, the idea was ?rst brought forward by one of the past leaders of BUPA but brought back into focus this year by the Students\u2019 Representative Council (SRC).\u201cBishops\u2019 was very receptive,\u201d said SRC President Enzo Evangelisti.\u201cI think it likely would have happened last year had the pandemic not stalled us.\u201d Miles Turnbull, Bishop\u2019s Vice- Principal Academic, was one of two invited speakers at Monday\u2019s ceremony.While recognizing that a painted crosswalk is not a solution to problems of prejudice and persecution on its own, he spoke to the importance this kind of public gesture can have as a ?rst step.\u201cWhat does it mean for BU to have this rainbow crosswalk?\u201d Turnbull asked.\u201cI hope it will be a symbol for our whole community, but most especially for students who are struggling with their sexuality and/or gender CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED

s - b r o t h e r - i s - a t - D a d \u2019 s noonish-lunchy-brunch thing at Cowansville\u2019s Ben & Florentine restaurant.We enjoyed fruit smoothies and dined at a restaurant (inside) together for the ?rst time in a very long time.We then popped by the pharmacy for a few things, including an aloe vera soothing gel for a sunburn that shouldn\u2019t have happened in 2021 with so much sunscreen at home, and then along the same strip, back-tracked to Dollarama for a few things (a pot for a plant, mostly).We walked in, sanitized our hands and grabbed a cart\u2026.And the arrows were gone.The big, red arrows.They were about two feet long, pointing up and down the rows.We\u2019ve been following them since the stores re-opened.Hang a left, go to the far aisle, kitchen supplies, bathroom products, cleaning items, ending with faux plants and ?owers, then back down homewares \u2013 containers, dishes, tins, tablecloths, up the next aisle for outdoor things, decorative stuff for the garden, then down hats and more outdoor things, up jewellery, socks, toiletries, soaps, pet products along the back, down the food aisle, up crafts, school supplies, books, the beginning of the toy section, and then down the toy section, party supplies, gift cards.Along the front \u2013 a fridge for cold beverages, a section for bread, chips, batteries, a wall of mints and candies, a tree of lollipops, along to the cash, with Plexiglas hanging between us and the cashiers.No arrows on the ?oor.No arrows made of red tape.Their silhouettes were there \u2013 adhesive edging that stuck a little harder.I wonder how long the edges will remain?Will they be put down again, ?lling in the spaces they left, new tape, new lanes?Will they simply fade with the frequent washings?Will the section of masks go?I needed something from the second aisle.This had been a \u2018down\u2019 aisle.I walked up, remembering the way we used to shop a year and a half ago \u2013 our lists, walking here and there, backtracking, not thinking so much about how close we passed someone.I found the plant pot, and went down the next aisle to look for another thing.I thought about how all along there were those who didn\u2019t bother with the arrows.Boldly going wherever they wanted to \u2013 occasionally getting re-directed by store staff, or at least being the recipient of eye-rolls from them or shop patrons.I wondered what things will be the past, and how soon?I\u2019ve always been good at not saying \u2018Are we there yet?\u2019 just out of getting a job done properly, getting to a destination safely and without much turning around.I still don\u2019t feel the need to ask \u2013 and I don\u2019t feel paranoid or stressed, I wear my mask without a fuss and can hardly feel it most of the time \u2013 although I realize that many are bothered by them, for various reasons, and will look forward to shedding them, with any luck, forever.I let my mind wander, wondering about trips, and con?ned spaces, air travel, shared space, and common direction, respect\u2026.and wonder what\u2019s to come.With my second dose of the P?zer vaccine set for this Thursday, I contemplate that raising a special needs child made me very resilient in terms of waiting for things, lowered my expectations, limited my movements and drastically increased my tolerance when waiting for things.But, then again, anyone can appreciate breathing room.So just as easily as travel up an aisle with a clear direction, I embrace the opportunity to navigate differently, and I don\u2019t feel controlled, or like a sheep, or naïve.I feel that I tried to make very basic changes to my movements because there was a chance that it could help, and I have zero regrets.While we wait and wonder what comes next, we explore newly reopened territory.There were no arrows on the ground.There were no arrows on the ground Sheila Quinn Dishpan Hands PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY

COVID-19 over the weekend, 76 of which were from Monday\u2019s report.As a result, the total number of people infected since the start of the pandemic increased to 374,660, even as the number of active cases across the province fell below 1,000, to reach 934.The total number of deaths in the province only increased by one over that time, to 11,203, and the number of hospitalizations decreased to 124, with 31 in intensive care.Granby vaccination site CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 By Gordon Lambie A milk truck turned over in the roundabout south of Lennoxville on Monday morning, sending its driver to hospital with minor injuries and causing traf?c disruptions within the borough for a large part of the day.According to Martin Carrier, spokesperson for the Sherbrooke Police, the truck turned over around 9:30 a.m.and although its contents mostly did not spill, the work to transfer the milk and remove the overturned vehicle still took several hours.While that work took place, traf?c was directed in alternating directions through the immediate area by Transport Ministry workers, although the majority of incoming vehicles were being redirected as much as possible at other nearby intersections.\u201cIt happens often,\u201d Carrier said, noting that this is far from the ?rst large vehicle to turn over within the roundabout.Milk truck turns over in Lennoxville roundabout GORDON LAMBIE expression and identity.I often wonder how my life would have been different had there been a symbol, a signal, and a program like we are organizing and continue to support here at Bishop\u2019s on my university campuses.\u201d The Vice-Principal shared some of his own experiences, recalling being pelted with grapefruit and potatoes at Prince Edward Island\u2019s ?rst Pride event, being badly beaten in a park on another occasion, and living through the suicides and murders of loved ones or former students for living as openly gay men.\u201cBishop\u2019s can do better and will to better,\u201d he said.As a part of the launch, the SRC is also selling t-shirts with an image of the Bishop\u2019s gaiter walking across the crosswalk to bene?t GRIS Estrie, an organization focused on breaking down stereotypes and prejudice surrounding sexual orientation and gender identity through educational workshops led by local volunteers.\u201cIf you would have told when u was in high school, or CEGEP or university, that one day we would display a rainbow like this, I wouldn\u2019t have believed it,\u201d said Louis-Philippe Hébert, President of GRIS Estrie, sharing that he was very touched by the action on the part of the school community.Bishop\u2019s community CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 By Michael Boriero Knowlton residents and artists dropped off uniquely designed bird houses at Coldbrook Park last week as part of a community project started by Isabelle Daval and Sylvain Bolduc earlier in the summer.Bolduc and Daval assembled all of the necessary materials to build the miniature homes.And with a team of volunteers they put the pieces together for people interested in participating in the project.They gave everyone about one month to ?nish their artwork.\u201cWe bought the raw material, we put primer on it, and we invited people to come pick one.They did their art on it and after that we had to put varnish on it and we had to install it in the park,\u201d said Bolduc.The ?rst part, which is already installed, is the artistic part, he explained.It took a few days to put everything up.The second part will take a bit more time.They plan to install bigger, more elaborate bird houses throughout the year, in hopes of sustaining a larger bird population.\u201cIt\u2019s a kind of permanent exhibit in the middle of downtown, outside for everybody, and it is going to be on display in two parts,\u201d said Bolduc.The bird houses line what Bolduc and Daval have dubbed the fairy trail, a walking path for residents and visitors, which follows the Coldbrook stream up the road.According to Bolduc, not a lot of people know about the path, so this will be a way to attract visitors.Bolduc hopes the colourful houses will bring in more birds.He also commended everyone for their work.Each bird house has its own style and none of them have a similar design, Bolduc continued.The entire project was done at no extra cost for the participants.While walking along the path, Daval said they simply wanted to give back and bring the community together.They want to help make Knowlton an interesting and unique place to visit in Quebec.They also run lantern project in the winter, which has been going for four years.Although there are already dozens of bird houses along the walking path, Bolduc said they still have plenty leftover at their respective stores in the area.They plan to put them out slowly throughout the summer.Bolduc wants to hold a bird house painting project every year.\u201cOur goal is in the long term because we will add new bird houses each year with a new batch of participants and artists, and basically we want to be the most important bird house exhibit in the region, maybe even the country,\u201d said Bolduc.New bird house

The Government of Canada has just announced that as of the end of this year, for the ?rst time ever, Canada Savings Bonds will no longer pay interest \u2013 they\u2019re telling us all to cash them in.I was seven years old in 1939.One of the highlights of that year was that King George V1 and Queen Elizabeth visited Winnipeg \u2013 along with thousands of others, I stood on Wellington Crescent to wave.Later that year, during the ?rst week of school, the second world war was declared.Waging war is expensive.Between 1939 to 1950, it cost Canada $21.8 billion \u2013 about $386 billion in today\u2019s dollars.More than 45,000 Canadians died, and the Canadian economy boomed.Canada produced $5.8 billion from its natural resources during the war.Unemployment disappeared (the unemployment rate fell from 11.4 percent in 1939 to 1.4 percent in 1944), wages increased, and many families had two or more members employed during the war, greatly increasing the family income.Huge advancements were made in healthcare, education, transportation, and communication.All helped by a fantastically successful war bonds campaign.Canadians were enthusiastic about helping the war effort.The bonds were issued with maturities of between six and 14 years with interest rates ranging from 1.5% to 3%.You could do your patriotic duty for as little as $50.I can remember cutting the interest coupons and taking them to the bank for payment.The end of the war in 1945 was not the end of the campaign.In 1946, Victory Bonds morphed into Canada Savings Bonds and the government made it easy to buy them by launching a Payroll Program, thereby getting tens of thousands of employers to deduct the cost from their employees\u2019 paycheques.Year after year, the Finance Department and the Bank of Canada beefed up the perks to keep Canadians buying bonds to help pay down the debt and ?nance economic development.By 1976 the Canada Savings Bonds Program represented 45 per cent of the total marketable debt outstanding.The following year regular-interest \u201cR\u201d bonds and compound-interest \u201cC\u201d bonds replaced old style coupon bonds.Direct deposit of interest payments was also made possible with the introduction of the new bonds.Aside from their popularity with cautious savers, they contributed to the ?nancing of roads, hospitals, power grids, telecommunications lines, airlines, pipelines \u2013 just about anything that government wanted to do alone or in collaboration with the private sector.Ten years later CSB purchases peaked at $55 billion, driven by sky- high interest rates and the fact that they were one of the safest investment vehicles around, fully backed by the federal government and cashable at any time.Life moves on.Interest rates began to decline in the late 80s, banks and other ?nancial institutions were offering products like GICs, self-directed trading accounts, mutual funds and exchange- traded funds (ETFs), with better rates of return.Canadians switched and the government began questioning the $60-million price tag it cost to run the program each year.Finally and reluctantly, the government stopped selling CSBs in 2017 and as of November 2021, they\u2019ll stop paying interest.So \u2013 if you have any Canada Savings Bonds, get them out and kiss them goodbye.Here\u2019s how.If you do things online, go to https:// www.csb.gc.ca/redeem-your-bonds- in-2021/ for all the information you\u2019ll need.If you aren\u2019t online, contact Customer Service at 1-800-575-5151.You\u2019ll need some information: your Customer ID, your address at the time of purchase, the bond certi?cate serial number(s) - if available, and the exact name of the registered owner as it appears on the certi?cate.And if you don\u2019t have all that, they\u2019ll try to help anyway.But they aren\u2019t miracle workers.If you\u2019ve lost track of your CSBs, you should know in advance that only CSBs (Series 32 and up) and Canada Payroll Bonds issued in 1977 or later are eligible for the lost bond process.I love history.Happy Canada Day! Dian Cohen is an economist and a founding organizer of the Massawippi Valley Health Centre.Cohendian560@gmail.com.Dian Cohen THE SCOOP By Mable Hastings On Wednesday, June 23 the Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre (CABMN) organized a lunch for its Income Tax Service volunteers.The Income Tax Service is held annually through the CABMN and is coordinated by CABMN Administration Coordinator, Jennifer McGeean.The service helps individuals earning up to $25,000 per year as well as low income couples earning up to $30,000 per year.A training is offered by Revenue Quebec and the Canada Revenue Agency to the volunteers recruited by McGeean at the CAB.The devoted volunteers include: Kenneth Wraight, Richard Fergusson, Carmen Aubin and Monique Lasnier.The team offer their services and expertise for free from March 1 to April 15 by appointment.Even during the Covid Pandemic the team was consistent with this vital service and helping those needing their taxes done.\u201cThis year, our four volunteers were able to prepare 50 income taxes for people,\u201d shared McGeean.\u201cI have been working with the same team of volunteers for years and it seems impossible to express my gratitude and pride in the efforts of this small group that give so much to the CABMN and to our clientele year after year.\u201d McGeean who organized the get together on Wednesday also hosted it at her home where she presented each volunteer with a gift that had been donated by a business.The gifts included bird feeders donated by Brome Bird Care and gift bags with gift cards and snack packs donated by the FamiliPrix Pharmacy as well as wine donated by the CABMN.The volunteers were not expecting to receive a gift and commented on the gesture and kindness of these businesses.McGeean was overjoyed to see their happy smiles as they opened the token of appreciation.\u201cAs volunteers we look forward to February and getting the service organized and up and running,\u201d said Ken Wraight.\u201cI personally miss having something to do and the exchange with the volunteers and clients once the service ends in April,\u201d he added.The lunch ended with a socially distanced group photo taken on McGeean\u2019s back deck where smiles were plentiful and wishes for healthy summer months were exchanged between the group.For more information about the income tax service or about the many other services offered by the CABMN visit: www.cabmn.org or call 450- 292-3114.While on their site, sign up for the weekly newsletter and stay informed.CAB Missisquoi North recognizes income tax

Sherbrooke Phoenix selected Éthan Gauthier with the ?rst overall pick in the 2021 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) draft on Friday evening.Gauthier was a member of the Magog Cantonniers last season, however due to the pandemic he was unable to suit up in any games.Sherbrooke head coach Stéphane Julien said the team\u2019s scouts based a lot of their reports on the 16-year-old\u2019s previous season.\u201cI think of the year we went through with all of those guys, they haven\u2019t practiced much, they haven\u2019t played much, either, so we took a lot of information from Bantam AAA and there was no doubt from every coach, and last year\u2019s season, that he was the best player,\u201d he said.As an assistant captain for the Bantam AAA Bois-Francs Cascades in 2019-2020, Gauthier put up 40 points in 23 games, 13 goals and 27 assists, respectively.According to Julien, it was a fairly easy decision for the Phoenix.Gauthier\u2019s father played professionally, and his brother also played in the QMJHL.Hockey runs in the family, Julien explained, it is in his blood, and Gauthier has already shown maturity and professionalism for his age.But Julien admitted there will be an adjustment period for him.\u201cTo be honest with you being 16 in junior is very hard, but I think he is going to have a major role to play this year.We\u2019re going to give him a lot of ice time, he is going to play the power play, but I don\u2019t have any expectations on points or consistency of his game,\u201d said Julien.The Phoenix head coach saw it with former captain Samuel Poulin.Poulin, who was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the ?rst round of the 2019 National Hockey League draft, played in Sherbrooke for three seasons before getting traded to Val-d\u2019Or last year.He excelled early on with the Phoenix, Julien said, but Poulin tapered off a little bit near the tail end of his ?rst season.He struggled to adapt, he continued, but it is normal, these players go from playing against 15-year- olds, to taking on 18, 19 and 20-year-old men.When asked about the draft process this year, and the hurdles caused by the pandemic, Julien said the team\u2019s scouts put in a lot of hours covering every region in Quebec.Julien also joined the Phoenix\u2019s draft team after the season, driving over 4,000 KM around the province.Sherbrooke picked Jesse Carrière with their second round pick, 24th overall.Carrière, a tall and heavy defenseman for the Châteauguay Grenadiers, was predicted to go in the ?rst round.However, he fell into the second round, much to the pleasure of the Phoenix.\u201cI watched him three, four times, and he is a very talented player on defense and I think he is going to be a top two defenseman,\u201d said Julien.\u201cHe has to work on his 200-foot game, but pure talent I think he is going to surprise a lot of people.\u201d Sherbrooke is still going through a slight rebuild, though, and Julien understands they probably won\u2019t turn any heads next season.The team shipped off a few draft picks for former QMJHL ?rst overall pick Joshua Roy last season, and they also lost a lot of veteran depth.\u201cThis year we\u2019re in a transition year, I think we\u2019re going to be middle of the pack, high, and we have a lot of guys that will be 18 next year.We\u2019re going to have a competitive training camp,\u201d Julien said, adding there aren\u2019t enough spots for all the interested players.He also spoke to The Record about the Montreal Canadiens improbable run to the Stanley Cup Final.Julien, who played professional hockey overseas, said it has been a special journey, led by a team that bought into the system, and stellar goaltending from Carey Price.\u201cWell it is impressive, honestly, nobody saw the Canadiens going to the ?nal, but they play a humble game.I repeat myself when people ask me, but when you see them play right now there is something, something around the Canadiens right now,\u201d said Julien.By Priscilla Allatt Special to The Record Lennoxville just happens to be home to a fascinating \u201cFarmhouse\u201d that hosts two organizations.The Garden of Hope, founded by Alain Rodrigue, has a mandate to grow food for local people in need.The Foundation for Farming, represented by Serge Lauzon, offers training programs about sustainable agriculture.The Garden of Hope is relatively new to the Townships.Setting up base for the ?rst time in Lennoxville this summer, Rodrigue and his right-hand Joel Bélanger occupy 49 gardening beds at the Farmhouse where they plant and grow vegetables that they later transform into meals for people in need.The idea to prepare food for the less fortunate came to Rodrigue last year when the pandemic hit.\u201cI knew that with everything that was happening, people were going to lose their jobs and be hungry.I wanted to create a garden that would be able to help people and provide food for them,\u201d he said.Originally, Rodrigue and Bélanger were in St-Marguerite-de-Lingwick.After a successful season last year, word about the Garden of Hope reached Lauzon.He contacted Rodrigue and Bélanger and offered them space in the garden at the Farmhouse.\u201cMy desire is to have a Garden of Hope in every town, so I took them up on the offer and left four people in charge of the farm in Lingwick,\u201d said Rodrigue.If things go well this season in Lennoxville, the Garden of Hope may very well move on to a new town to continue growing food for people in need.When they ?rst arrived at the Farmhouse, both Rodrigue and Bélanger underwent the program offered by the Foundation for Farming, run by Lauzon.The Foundation for Farming moved into the Farmhouse three years ago,.Its goal is to teach people about sustainable agriculture.At the farm, they offer a hands-on program that is available to anyone interested, which takes place over a few weeks.Rodrigue and Bélanger, who just recently ?nished the training program, are now applying their new skills and knowledge to their Garden of Hope food beds.While most participants want a quality yield using sustainable practices, some use the training as a means of gardening therapy .Simon Saint-Pierre, currently taking the training program, spoke to the therapeutic bene?ts of the program.\u201cI worked in construction for 22 years.Around two years ago, I had a major burnout,\u201d said Saint-Pierre, \u201cEverything had fallen apart, so I headed for the woods with my cat and pitched my tent near the Saint-François River.One day I met Joel; his boat was not working, so I helped him walk his boat back to the farm.The entire walk back, he told me about sustainable agriculture and about the Garde of Hope, which is located on the farm and feeds the poor.Upon arriving, the Farmhouse invited me to pitch my tent on their property, which I quickly agreed to,\u201d Saint-Pierre explained.\u201cSince then, I\u2019ve been helping every day and taking the full training.I enjoy it 2000 per cent, as it is like nothing I\u2019ve ever done previously.I desperately needed this chance to escape life and reconnect with nature.Doing this work daily has made me feel restored,\u201d said Saint-Pierre.The Farmhouse is located on 2445 Rue College and both the Garden of Hope and the Foundation for Farming operate with the help they receive from volunteers emerging from the community.\u201cWe welcome anyone who wants to come and help out even if they are only coming for half a day,\u201d said Lauzon.VINCENT L.-ROUSSEAU,

malnourished children at Indian Residential Schools as perfect test subjects Allison Daniel PhD Candidate, Nutritional Sciences, University of Toronto The discovery of hundreds of children\u2019s remains in Kamloops, Brandon and Cowessess have exposed the absolute devastation settlers in?icted upon Indigenous children, families and communities through the Indian Residential School system.As a nutrition researcher, and settler-Canadian, I am calling on my peers to recognize and understand the harms that malnutrition and nutrition experiments on Indigenous people have caused and the legacy they have left.Easier to assimilate Ian Mosby, historian of food, Indigenous health and the politics of Canadian settler colonialism, uncovered that between 1942 and 1952, Canada\u2019s most prominent nutrition scientists performed highly unethical research on 1,300 Indigenous people, including 1,000 children, in Cree communities in northern Manitoba and at six residential schools across Canada.Many were already suffering from malnutrition because of destructive government policies and terrible conditions at residential schools.In the eyes of researchers, this made them ideal test subjects.Frederick Tisdall \u2014 famous for being a co-creator of the infant food Pablum at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto \u2014 along with Percy Moore and Lionel Bradley Pett were the main architects of the nutrition experiments.They proposed that education and dietary interventions would make Indigenous people more pro?table assets to Canada, that if Indigenous people were healthier, transmission of diseases like tuberculosis to white people would decline and assimilation would be easier.They successfully pitched their plan for nutrition experiments to the federal government.Tisdall, Moore and their team based their pitch on the results they found after subjecting 400 Cree adults and children in northern Manitoba to a range of intrusive assessments, including physical exams, X\u2013rays and blood draws.The pitch from Pett and his team centred on determining a baseline.They wanted to give children at the Alberni Indian Residential School a low amount of milk for two years, enough to substantially deprive growing children of the calories and nutrients they needed.Other experiments involved withholding essential vitamins and minerals to children in control groups, while preventing Indian Health Services from providing dental care under the guise that this could impact the study results.And even before these experiments, children at Indian Residential Schools were going hungry \u2014 with reports of severe malnutrition and signs of serious vitamin and mineral de?ciencies.Motives and racial underpinnings of the nutrition experiments Interest in nutrition research rose dramatically in the 1940s after the Canadian Council on Nutrition stated publicly that more than 60 per cent of people in Canada had nutritional de?ciencies.Most experiments up to then had been done in animals, but researchers like Pett, who was the main author of what later became Canada\u2019s Food Guide, capitalized on the opportunity to use Indigenous people as lab rats.While perpetrators like Pett often operated under the façade of comprehending and helping Indigenous people, racial underpinnings of these nutrition experiments have been clear.Investigators sought to unravel the \u201cIndian Problem.\u201d Moore, Tisdall and their collaborators attributed discriminatory stereotypes like \u201cshiftlessness, indolence, improvidence and inertia\u201d to malnutrition.A.E.Caldwell, principal of Alberni Indian Residential School, claimed the malnutrition was caused by traditional diets and ways of living, which he also called \u201cindolent habits.\u201d The nutrition experiments, alongside the profoundly inadequate and low-quality foods given to children in residential schools, aligned perfectly with Caldwell\u2019s mandate of assimilation.Barring virtually all children from adequate traditional foods is yet another means of colonization and cultural genocide.According to Mosby\u2019s ?ndings, Pett stated that he aimed to better understand the \u201cinevitable\u201d transition away from traditional foods, yet Indian residential schools were purposefully designed to cause this.Their research is unethical by contemporary standards, and it is hard to believe it was ever acceptable to experiment on anyone, let alone children, without consent.The aftermath of the Holocaust and the biomedical experiments in concentration camps led to the development of the Nuremberg Code in 1947, which states that voluntary consent for research is absolutely essential and that experiments should avoid all unnecessary mental and physical suffering.The code came out the same year that Pett embarked on his nutrition experiments at six residential schools.Consequences of malnutrition and experimentation Childhood malnutrition can be deadly, especially when coupled with the risk of disease, which was often the case in residential schools.The Truth and Reconciliation Commission\u2019s Final Report indicates that the main causes of death in children at residential schools were physical harm, malnutrition, illness and neglect.For residential school survivors, malnutrition has lasting effects.Starvation during childhood increases risk of chronic conditions like Type 2 diabetes, and research indicates that severe malnutrition may even cause epigenetic changes that can be passed on through generations.Experimenting on children who were already made to suffer was immoral.Food insecurity and nutrition problems in Indigenous communities are major issues in Canada, resulting from residential schools and colonial policies that continue to this day.Experiments at residential schools and in communities have made health care settings precarious and traumatic places for many Indigenous peoples and have led to a degree of vaccine hesitancy during the COVID-19 pandemic.At the same time, stigma, violence and racism towards Indigenous peoples in these contexts persist.This particular story of malnutrition and nutrition experiments on Indigenous children and adults has been told before.It caught mainstream media\u2019s attention in 2013 after Mosby\u2019s research and advocacy.And it comes as no surprise to Indigenous people, whose truths we must ?nally, deeply listen to.If you are an Indian Residential School survivor or have been affected by the residential school system and need help, you can contact the 24-hour Indian Residential Schools Crisis Line: 1-866-925-4419.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY

loss, one win and plenty of good times Record Staff The Sherbrooke Expos started their 2021 season with a loss against the Big Bill in Coaticook, Friday night.The locals got the better of the Expos with a score of 15-8.Led by Bruno Laurin, the Expos had the opportunity to bounce back on Sunday, at the Amédée-Roy Stadium, by winning 16-12 against the Acton Vale Beavers in front of 462 spectators.Coaticook struck early In the bottom of the second inning, the Big Bill sent no less than 12 batters to the plate taking advantage of the generosity of Expos starter Claudio Ortiz.Ortiz allowed four walks and two hits.Julien Castagnier-Charlebois and Maxime Beaudoin also hit singles in the seven-run streak.Beaudoin produced a second run in the bottom of the fourth inning with another single.Sherbrooke got on the scoreboard in the middle of the next inning when Jonathan Raymond scored on Benoit Emond\u2019s ground ball.During their turn at bat, the visitors scored four times, thanks to Christophe Jutras\u2019 two-run single.The home team responded in the sixth inning by scoring seven more runs.Anthony Quirion, who was making his Big Bill debut, hit a two- run triple in that inning.Quirion also made a number of nice plays on defence, setting the tone for his team.The Expos ?nished with three runs in the top of the seventh inning with a solo home run by Yunior Paumier Oliva, and a two-run single by Benoit Émond.Sherbrooke wins against Acton Vale The Expos and the Acton Vale Beavers played cat and mouse in extreme heat on the local opening day at Amédée- Roy Stadium on Sunday.The 462 spectators enjoyed the show and the fact that their favourites refused to give up.The home team hit no less than 15 hits, including home runs by Kyle Hazel (three-run home run in the fourth inning) and Nelson Ercia JR (solo homer in the sixth inning).The latter and newcomer Yunior Paumier each got three hits.Emmanuel Forcier\u2019s three-run home run in the ?fth inning for the visitors, who had only six hits despite scoring 12 runs.The win went to reliever Samuel Brousseau and the loss to Alexandre Brunelle.A well-deserved tribute to Steve Gosselin Before the game, personalities from all walks of life joined the two teams, representatives from the Quebec Major Baseball League and close friends and family for a well-deserved tribute to Steve Gosselin.The family was moved to see how much everyone loved Steve.Geneviève Hébert, MNA for Saint-François, read a statement prepared last May and presented the text to the Gosselin family.A few minutes into the game, however, paramedics were called to take Steve\u2019s father to the hospital.The family later said he was in stable condition and that further tests would be done on Monday.The Quebec Major League Baseball joined the team in wishing Claude Gosselin a speedy recovery.Upcoming local games Friday at 8 p.m.vs.Coaticook Saturday at 7 p.m.vs.Saint-Jean-sur- Richelieu The Expos\u2019 local games are

trying the different kinds of salt that are available these days, but my grandmother says that unless you use iodized salt, you don\u2019t get enough iodine in your diet, which is dangerous.Is she right?What happens if you don\u2019t get enough?Dear Reader: Your grandmother is correct that iodine, which is a mineral, is an essential part of our diet.It\u2019s also a trace element.These are chemical micronutrients that the body needs in very small amounts for the proper functioning of a wide range of metabolic and physiological processes.Iodine is essential to the production of thyroid hormones, which affect all of the cells of the human body.They regulate metabolism; play a role in heart rate, respiration and body temperature; and they are crucial to the formation of the central nervous system and skeletons of fetuses and infants.A de?cit of iodine in the diet can cause your thyroid gland to become enlarged, a condition known as goiter.It\u2019s often the ?rst symptom of iodine de?ciency.A goiter looks like a swelling on the throat, just below the larynx.It can develop when, due to a lack of iodine, the thyroid gland grows larger in an effort to produce more hormones.When a pregnant woman lacks adequate iodine in her diet, it can affect her fetus.This includes stunted growth and developmental delays.Iodine de?ciency in infants and young children can have an adverse effect on intelligence and cognition.Adults who don\u2019t get enough iodine may gain weight easily, struggle with lethargy or fatigue, have trouble with memory and learning, experience unexpected changes to their heart rate, and develop hair loss or dry or ?aky skin.Because iodine is a trace element, the amount we need is quite small.From birth to age 13, the recommended amount ranges from 90 to 130 micrograms of iodine per day.From age 14 and throughout adulthood, it\u2019s 150 micrograms daily.Pregnant women need 220 micrograms per day, and breastfeeding mothers should get 290 micrograms per day.As your grandmother pointed out, iodized salt is a sure thing when it comes to getting enough iodine.The mineral was ?rst added to salt in the early 1920s, when goiter became common in certain parts of the United States.However, it\u2019s also important to remember that dietary guidelines limit salt to 2,300 milligrams - that\u2019s about 1 teaspoon - per day.The best naturally occurring source of iodine is in seafood.The highest concentrations are in the various edible seaweeds produced for culinary purposes.Saltwater ?sh - including cod, halibut, herring and sardines - are also good sources.So are shrimp.Fruits and vegetables do contain iodine, but the amounts depend upon the soil in which they are grown.Dairy products are often a very good source of iodine.This is due to a certain disinfectant, which contains iodine, that is used during processing.People who don\u2019t eat dairy products or seafood are at risk of not getting enough of the micronutrient.However, it\u2019s important to note that too much iodine can also cause adverse effects, so don\u2019t go overboard getting it into your diet.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and

There was a cash bar there as well.I, too, left early - and I am the parent of one of the people being married.The children were already running without any parental supervision, and I did not think alcohol in the mix was going to improve the situation.Was I wrong to just ignore the hordes of children running through the dance ?oor and dashing under tables?I did not know all the people to ask them to control their children, but I also did not feel it was my place - Confused Southerner Dear Confused Southerner: I\u2019m sorry that you had to experience that.I don\u2019t think it really matters if it\u2019s 1920 or 2020; allowing children at a wedding to take all of the food and run around as if it\u2019s recess on a playground is incredibly rude.Their parents should have stopped them and explained that they need to be respectful during a wedding and that it is an honor to be invited.In hindsight, you should have said something to the parents of the children - politely and ?rmly.Dear Annie: I live in a condo with my husband, and the neighbor next door keeps coming out of her apartment to investigate who\u2019s at our residence, or she comes out when we have company and rudely interrupts our gathering.She always has to know who is there and what we are doing.She purposely eavesdrops on our conversations and has called our landlord.She even called the police, giving false statements that my husband and I were ?ghting.We have been threatened by the landlord that we have to move out if we don\u2019t stop, despite our explaining that there is no ?ghting.We don\u2019t bother her, and we do not have any other issues with her.We have tried to get along with her and even told her she does not need to come out every time we have company.I have started documenting her actions, and since I get along with all the other neighbors in the building, I am going to get statements from them as well.She doesn\u2019t talk to us, but she continues to come out to investigate.What is the best advice to get her to stop the unnecessary invasion of privacy?What is my next step?- Tired of Nosey Neighbor Dear Tired of Nosy Neighbor: Your next step is to talk to her.Ask her to kindly mind her own business.If she does not, then you can continue what you are doing and document her snooping.You have every right to feel comfortable in your own home and don\u2019t need to put up with someone intruding on your personal space.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

will also be promoting the region\u2019s EmploiBM.ca.portal which highlights the employment opportunities in the region.The water bar concept was designed and manufactured by the Granby-based company Station Boire.It involves a trailer converted into a mobile unit distributing cooled drinking water; the objective being to eliminate the overconsumption of single-use water bottles.The customized trailer and the huge, illuminated advertising panel above it offers the MRC high visibility in non-conventional advertising sites.Locals and visitors will not only be able to enjoy drinking fresh water, but they will also be able to discover the numerous job opportunities that are available in Brome-Missisquoi as the station will primarily be promoting the EmploiBM.ca.portal.EmploiBM.ca is a recruiting portal supported by a 360-degree communications/ marketing campaign which includes a constant presence on all the social networks (@Brome_missisquoi), during tourism events and venues, on the website (faislemove.ca), through the different regional media, etc.Businesses established in the region are invited to register on the portal to advertise their job offers quickly, easily and most importantly, freely.By doing so they\u2019ll bene?t from the ?ow of potential candidates that the initiative will generate on the site.A preliminary tour schedule has been established and the Station

Park here by the school, then we corrected them together on the smart boards.\u201d As grade three students, they had been practicing their writing all year.\u201cWe practiced main characters, problem, details, and solution.We tried to stick to this formula.\u201d Students got creative and they each wrote a one-page story on a topic of their choosing.\u201cSome were about hiking, ninjas, there were ghost stories.They could all write whatever they wanted, except for violence of course.\u201d Together, they sold each story for 5$.\u201cSome people would give more because they knew it was for a good cause.Our goal was 100 stories but when we had 50 or 60, after a while it became 500.In the end, we raised $620.They were selling to neighbors, parents, grandparents, uncles\u201d They decided to donate the funds to SOS Dépannage Moisson Granby, who have a general store and a café to raise funds to provide a food bank for the community and a community garden program.\u201cThey invited us to visit and they explained where the money would go and it was really great.\u201d Rossignol said that the project helped motivate her students in their learning.\u201cSome kids don\u2019t like writing, but this was a big motivator; to write stories and help their community.\u201d Rossignol said that the project was a last-minute end of the year initiative, but she couldn\u2019t pass up the opportunity for her students to take on their great idea.\u201cI would have asked other teachers to do it but it was the end of the year.I couldn\u2019t let it go by, it was too great and I needed to do something.\u201d The project not only played a role in the community , it contributed to learning, helping in their writing and teaching them mathematical concepts like counting money, Rossignol plans to continue the project with her future classes.\u201cIt\u2019s something that I\u2019ll do in future years and encourage other schools to do.Why not make money for the community with this idea?The kids are engaged and they have such wonderful ideas.Helping others, empathy, it\u2019s a big part of how I teach to get them engaged in their community.\u201d *See page 7 for some of the

case numbers drop across the country, the provinces and territories have begun releasing the reopening plans for businesses, events and recreational facilities.Most of the plans are based on each jurisdiction reaching vaccination targets at certain dates, while also keeping the number of cases and hospitalizations down.Here\u2019s a look at what reopening plans look like across the country: Quebec: Three more regions in Quebec have moved into the green, or least restrictive, level of the province\u2019s COVID-19 response plan.Bas-Saint-Laurent, Saguenay-Lac- Saint-Jean and Mauricie-Centre-du- Quebec joined much of the rest of the province in attaining the level that allows them to relax restrictions including limits on gatherings in homes, which can host up to 10 people from three different addresses.Montreal and several other regions have moved from the orange alert level to yellow, permitting indoor gatherings with members of another household, the resumption of outdoor team sports and expanded capacity for weddings, funerals and religious services.Bars in yellow zones can also welcome patrons inside at 50 per cent capacity.Earlier this month, the province permitted gyms and restaurant dining rooms to reopen as it moved all regions out of the red alert level.Bar patios have reopened and supervised outdoor sports and recreation are allowed in groups of up to 25 people.Quebec ended its nightly curfew on May 28 and allowed restaurant patios to open as well as limited outdoor gatherings on private property.It also lifted travel bans between regions and increased the number of people allowed to attend sporting events and festivals to 3,500.Ontario: The province will allow outdoor concerts, open-air movie screens and performing arts shows starting next Wednesday as it moves to the next stage in its reopening plan.Audience capacity will be capped at 25 per cent of the outdoor space or seating area, with organizers required to have the maximum capacity restrictions visibly posted within the outdoor space.All tickets must be sold as reserved seats.Other measures also allow musicians to perform at indoor concert venues for a limited number of reasons.Live streaming shows are permitted after being outlawed by the province in April.However, the performances cannot host any spectators.Indoor venues can hold band rehearsals with certain distancing and safety measures in place.The ilm and TV industry will see its restrictions lowered as well.In particular, a cap of 50 performers on a set is being eliminated, though studio audiences are still not allowed.The second stage of reopening was originally slated to begin July 2, but the province moved the plan forward two days, saying COVID-19 vaccination targets have been met.Indoor cinemas and public concerts still won\u2019t be permitted with capacity restrictions until the third stage.New Brunswick: New Brunswick has moved into Phase 2 of its reopening plan, having reached its goal of having 20 per cent of people 65 or older vaccinated with two doses of a COVID vaccine.Premier Blaine Higgs says the change opens travel without the need to isolate to all of Nova Scotia after opening to P.E.I.and Newfoundland and Labrador.Travellers from elsewhere in Canada who\u2019ve had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine will be allowed into the province without the need to isolate, while those who haven\u2019t had a shot will have to isolate and produce a negative test before being released from quarantine.Other changes allow restaurants, gyms and salons to operate at full capacity as long as customer contact lists are kept.In the third phase, the province will lift all COVID-19 restrictions.Newfoundland and Labrador: The province\u2019s reopening plan begins with a transition period during which some health restrictions, like limits on gatherings, will loosen.Requirements for testing and self- isolation lift entirely for fully vaccinated Canadian travellers on Canada Day, while those requirements ease over the next few months for travellers with just one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.If case counts, hospitalization and vaccination targets are met, the province expects to reopen dance loors as early as Aug.15, and lift capacity restrictions on businesses, restaurants and lounges while maintaining physical distancing between tables.As early as Sept.15, mask

By Taylor McClure Special to Brome County News Former member of Aviron Knowlton and resident of Brome Lake, Gabrielle Smith, is heading to the summer 2021 Tokyo Olympics after being selected to represent the national rowing team.Smith didn\u2019t start rowing full-time until 2012 but athleticism was always in her blood.After ?nding her coach Gavin Mckay, who established Avrion Knowlton, she has continuously rowed her way up the ladder.Now she is in the process of preparing to ful?ll a life-long dream.\u201cI started rowing in 2012.I got into it through lifeguarding on Toronto Island, and we had these giant wood rowboats that we\u2019d throw our equipment in and row out to our beaches.I really liked it and it was nice on Lake Ontario,\u201d said Smith.During the 2012 Olympics, Rowing Canada organized a program called the Row to Podium Program geared towards strong and tall athletes, but they didn\u2019t necessarily need to have experience in rowing.That was when Smith found her opportunity.\u201cYou just had to know someone who was tall and strong, they didn\u2019t necessarily need to know how to row.If you knew someone who was strong and tall, they could go through a series of physical tests to see if they had what it takes.\u201d Smith check off all the boxes and started training with her coach Gavin Mckay in Montreal, where she was attending school at the time.\u201cMy coach bought a house in Knowlton, so we were training there on the weekends.He shifted the whole training centre out there when I graduated school.\u201d She uprooted to Knowlton where she started to establish a life for herself and made connections in the community.\u201cI used to wait tables at Buzz Café and they were super kind and ?exible in scheduling for me.I worked at Canadian Pond and they were also accommodating for me and let me work sort of odd hours to make sure I could train.I lifeguarded for the town and started my own swimming- lesson school when I was there.I got to know all the mothers and their kids.\u201d Balancing work and training is a challenge that athletes face.\u201cI worked a number of jobs in the community.It can be tricky for sure being an athlete, trying to work, because you can only balance so much.You need to work to support yourself but not too much that it takes away from what you need to do in your training.I was able to carve a pathway with people in the community.\u201d After training in Knowlton for a while, a selection regatta was held in 2018.\u201cI had been training in Knowlton and then we had a regatta in the spring that was a selection regatta.If you performed well, you would be selected to the national team.I did well, so I was invited to row on the national team and I have progressively gone from there each year since.In 2019, we Olympic rower credits Aviron Knowlton for paving way to 2021 Tokyo Olympics CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 6 KEVIN LIGHT PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 6 Tuesday, June 29, 2021 BromeCountyNews qualiied oficially for the Olympics, but the way it works in rowing is that you qualify the boat, but you don\u2019t qualify the person.Even though we qualiied the boat, doesn\u2019t mean I qualiied.\u201d Left with uncertainty, Smith continue to prove herself over the course of the year until she was oficially selected for the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo.\u201cYour performance is monitored throughout the year and if you keep ticking off the boxes and you prove yourself to be fast enough, then you get selected.\u201d A typical day for Smith is two to three training sessions.\u201cIt\u2019s between 25 and 30 hours a week normally; most of which is rowing speciically and some of which is lifting wights and biking.For the most part, we work on the physical side of things, but there are very technical things in rowing so it\u2019s a balance of very hard work and technique.\u201d Smith said that you can be putting a lot of effort into your stroke, but if you don\u2019t work with your boat, it\u2019s not going to get you anywhere.\u201cThe hardest thing when you\u2019re racing is you\u2019re working as hard as you can, but the boats are super light and tippy.If you want to actually go fast you have to work with your boat, rather than just going crazy.It\u2019s a lot of \u2018how eficiently can I row so all the power I put into each stroke actually moves the boat\u2019?\u201d Going to the Olympics has been a dream for Smith, but it isn\u2019t always her focus.\u201cIt\u2019s always been a lifelong dream of mine to go to Olympics for sure but if you focus on just that you might miss out on the actual steps you need to take to get there.Going day by day, one race, one training session at time, if you do what you\u2019re supposed to do, you will get there in the end.I focus on what I\u2019m doing each day rather than the scary Olympics.\u201d She has been on the west coast in Victoria gearing up for the Olympics, starting on July 23, but she credits her time at Aviron Rowing with helping her move towards success.\u201cThey deinitely gave me a lot of support over the years, and I worked with my coach Gavin for six years while I was there, so I owe a lot of my success to them and our relationship.\u201d While the Olympics will look different due to the pandemic, Smith is ready to give it her all.\u201cI\u2019m super excited.Of course, it\u2019s going to look a bit different to most Olympics, but at the end of the day it\u2019s a race, and I\u2019m ready to get out there and race as hard as I can.\u201d By Taylor McClure Special to Brome County News The Brome County Museum had some special promoters last Thursday with one British privateer and two French oficers from the 1750 French and Indian War, one representing the French Marines and one representing the Bearne Regiment, dressed up in hand-stitched regimental dresses from the period, handing out two-for-one tickets to the museum, for St-Jean de Baptiste.\u201cIt was sort of a mustering of a few oficers and what is was like (back then),\u201d said Raphael Swan, who served as the British privateer and has been a professional reenactor for two decades.Dressed in what Swan referred to as regimental dresses, he and two friends wanted to bring history to life for the community in a new way and to encourgae them to explore the region\u2019s unique past.\u201cYou see a sign for the museum, and it doesn\u2019t really help, but when you have people on the ground in front of you, now people are interested.It\u2019s a tactile physical thing.\u201d Swan emphasized that we all need physical presence and it\u2019s something that we are lacking.\u201cIt\u2019s fun for everybody.We make it alive; it\u2019s brining the spirit alive.Who walked here 300 years ago?And it\u2019s kind of cool.The whole family loves it.\u201d It was a fun educational experience for those who had the chance to interact with the oficers.\u201cIt\u2019s the story of men and women, boys and girls, it\u2019s the story of life.People are curious to know, oh is that what went on here in 1750?And people love it and it\u2019s something that people can relate to.People want an experience; it\u2019s everybody\u2019s history.It\u2019s a place to share and have fun and experience history, we bring history to life.People think they know exactly how it was, but they don\u2019t.\u201d What made their presence that much more special were the regimental dresses that they were wearing.\u201cThey are hand-stitched by professionals and made the same way they looked in 1750.Reenactors spend a lot of money on these to have them handmade.It\u2019s a dedication to be a reenactor.I\u2019ve been doing it for 35 years, it\u2019s a way of life.It\u2019s not something you just do, it\u2019s a big investment.People study how to sew and dye the wool and everything.\u201d Swan hopes that he can continue to collaborate with people to hopefully do something similar in the future.\u201cWe can have a presence and it\u2019s great you know.We do this and we are known for it.People love that stuff so we are slowly getting our ducks in a row.\u201d Brome County Museum brings history alive for St-Jean Baptiste Day Olympic rower KEVIN LIGHT COURTESY BCN Staff The Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins Hospital Foundation\u2019s fundraising BBQ, in celebration of Father\u2019s Day, raised $7,000 from the sale of 50 deluxe BBQ boxes, which will be used for essential equipment at the hospital.Participants left the Gourmet Boutique at L\u2019Étrier restaurant on Saturday, June 19 with each shopper receiving a L\u2019Étrier BBQ box for four people.The BBQ box included chicken tournedos, pork skewers, 1 kg of ribs and a pie, four cans of McKeown cider, a bag of sweet Jalapeno chips, four reusable snack bags, and a BMP Foundation chef\u2019s apron.In addition, a draw among the buyers of the BBQ box offered additional gifts to four participants.One winner received a pair of tickets to a Montreal Alouettes game, courtesy of LB Avocats Inc.Three other winners each received a McKeown Cider House gift basket.The BMP BBQ was organized in collaboration with Desjardins, L\u2019Étrier, Domaine Bresee Winery, McKeown Cider Mill, IGA Daigneault in Cowansville and LB Avocats inc.Photo: Left to right: Mariane Furois, co-owner of L\u2019Étrier Restaurant;

will not only maintain contact between users and their loved ones, but also facilitate this interaction.Most of the tablets that were being used throughout the La Pommeraie were outdated or contracts on them were expiring.After considering all possible scenarios, the BMP Foundation chose to replace all of the existing tablets for a total cost of $18,300.This includes the purchase of the new tablets as well as the LTE subscription required for users to contact their loved ones.The new tablet\u2019s streamlined interface makes it easier for staff to get devices into the hands of users.This creates a more user-friendly and easy experience.The tablets will also be equipped with headphones for added privacy and will be Infection Prevention and Control compliant.If visits are no longer permitted, at least users can maintain contact with the outside world which made the investment a natural it for the BMP Foundation.The initiative was made possible by donors who support the BMP Foundation.BCN Staff Renaissance Lac Brome (RLB), a non-proit organization devoted to protecting Brome Lake and its watershed, organized a clean-up of Cold Brook, located in the heart of Knowlton in Coldbrook Park, last Tuesday.The group removed a large quantity of trash from the stream, including several tires.From 10 a.m.to 3 p.m., nine RLB volunteers and employees walked the stream over a distance of 2.5 km to collect refuse present in the stream and its shore.The collection was impressive and pickup included 21 tires, including tractor and truck tires, a bed frame, posters, antiques, clothing, plastic jars, glass and ceramic tableware being collected.RLB members rode the stream equipped with a canoe to haul the tires while others were armed with trash bags to pick up the trash.Public works employees from the Town of Lac-Brome also came by at the end of the day to pick up materials for environmental disposal.\u201cWe expected to ind a few tires, plastic bags, glass, but never so many tires or antique objects,\u201d said Anaïs Renaud, project manager for RLB.This section of Cold Brook starts from the Du Moulin pond in the town centre and empties into Brome Lake nearly 3 km further after crossing a large part of the urban area.Ancient inds demonstrated the central place the creek has occupied in the development of Knowlton.Pieces of pottery dating from old power lines have been found as well as horseshoes and old tools.\u201cI\u2019m very happy to have done this action for the lake.We were tired at the end of the day but satisied to have taken so much garbage out of the brook,\u201d says Hélène Drouin, President of RLB.After what was described in the press release as a success, the Renaissance Lac Brome team is thinking of repeating its stream cleaning initiative in future years.BMP Hospital Foundation upgrades technology to improve contact between loved ones Renaissance Lac Brome sticks to its mission with a cleanup of Cold Brook BCN Staff

target sensors in your view?nder.Whenever I take a picture, I concentrate on getting the subject\u2019s eyes.For me, this is critical to obtaining the perfect pic.Simply zero in on your target subject, try and place one of the sensors over the eyes of the bird or animal and lock focus.This is possible when your camera is set to single Servo AF mode.Once done, with a steady hand click your shutter button.This is relatively easy when your subject is still, the tricky part is to do it when the subject is always moving.There\u2019s a solution to this, simply place your camera in continuous Servo mode, then focus the closest sensor to your subject\u2019s eyes and follow its movement.With a steady hand and your camera pressed ?rmly against your face, click the shutter button.This way your camera is actually tracking focus.This type of shooting is imperative for any wildlife photographer shooting in the ?eld.You will probably also notice that is really only one point of focus.Everything in the front and background will appear out of focus in your view?nder.This is referred to as depth of ?eld and there are three things that in?uence it.The focal length of the lens, the lens aperture and the camera to the subject\u2019s actual distance.It\u2019s pretty cool how you can play around with this.Let\u2019s say you want just the actual subject and both the front and background blurred; this is regarded as minimum depth of ?eld.I have experimented with this many times over the years but it really is a crapshoot.Some images come out stunning, where others simply don\u2019t work.I encourage everybody to try this as you may be surprised with the ?nal result.Next is using a large depth of ?eld.Here all peripheral detail will also appear sharp which helps to explain that particular photo.For example, I used this technique while shooting a fox outside its den.Both the fox and den are at the forefront of the photo, the pic appears to be telling a story of a fox leaving its den probably going on the hunt to feed its young ones.Great thing is, you can interpret the photo anyway you desire.Like they say, every picture tells a story.Enough of the technical stuff, for those birders or photographers always looking for a great place to shoot, try the covered bridge in Fitch Bay.I\u2019ve gone under this bridge dozens of times while out ?shing and have seen families of geese, ducks, loons, osprey, herons and bald eagles on both sides.Recently there was a photographer who planted himself on the south side with his tripod and was shooting a couple of loons that were just past the bridge in the bay.The osprey pic I posted awhile back on my wildpix page was taken about 50 feet from the bridge.The birds of prey come as the water is relatively shallow, which provides them with great hunting opportunities.The bog on McGowan road continues to impress.Got some great turtle and female wood duck/chicks photos earlier this week.The pond is choked with vegetation now which means the blue herons and white egrets will be arriving soon.Again, thanks for the messages and kind words regarding this column.I am happy to answer any questions you might have regarding wildlife photography and nature in general.Please feel free to message me on my facebook page and I will reply asap!

new foods, understanding where food comes from, and choosing produce over chips (at least some of the time), it\u2019s a trip to the farmers market.Along with farmers selling produce, there are makers selling everything from pickles to preserves to pesto; beekeepers offering honey; ranchers who have raised chickens, beef and pigs; ?shermen and women selling their catch; bakers with breads, pies and muf?ns.Shopping at a farmers market also means shopping seasonally, which makes us more aware of sustainability.It\u2019s cool for kids to start to understand that, in much of the country, strawberries are around in May and June, peaches and plums are available in mid-summer, and once apples start rolling in, fall is on the horizon.It gives all of us an appreciation for the bounty of the moment.A fresh ear of corn tastes all the sweeter in August because its availability is ?eeting.Melissa Kubin has been bringing her young son Felix to the farmers market in New Milford, Connecticut, since he was a baby.\u201cNow he runs to the car on Saturdays shouting `farmers market\u2019!\u201d she says.The big lure for Felix is \u201cthe scones at the Green Granary bakery stand _ and seeing the dogs.\u201d His favorite vegetable is carrots.Amy Iannillo brings her four girls, ages 1 through 7, to the farmers market regularly as well.While they also love the pastries (they set up a little picnic area with folding chairs), they are all about the produce as well.\u201cThey eat things I feel like they wouldn\u2019t normally eat because they are being introduced to it in a different environment, on their terms,\u201d says Iannillo.Right now, \u201cit\u2019s all about the strawberries.\u201d Ianillo says the girls have come to appreciate the short season and enjoy the strawberries as much as possible.Shopping at farmers markets also can create a sense of community, since it supports local farmers and producers.So parents, grab your wallet and some reusable bags.Here are eight ways to get your kids engaged at the farmers market: 1) Encourage children to ask three questions of the farmers/producers.As you move through the market, questions will probably pop up.How many eggs does a chicken lay every day?Why are some vegetables labeled organic and others aren\u2019t?What does grass-fed mean?Why are different types of corn different colors?2) Show up hungry! And taste as much as you can.Tasting might be more limited this summer as different markets adjust to shifting COVID rules.In regular times, most producers are happy to offer up a slice of plum, a sliver of cheese, a taste of homemade jam on a cracker.This is also a good way to teach kids how to ask for something politely, and show appreciation for the sampling.3) Bring home one fruit or vegetable that\u2019s completely new to you, and ?gure out how to use it.Maybe you\u2019ll ?nd some golden berries, watermelon radishes or dandelion greens.You can try your ?nd as is, or add it to a salad, pasta dish, pie or other recipe.Our best ?nd when the kids were little was an ostrich egg, an enormous egg that we discovered has the equivalent of 24 large chicken eggs inside it.We learned how to get the egg out of the shell without breaking it, and we made a huge amount of scrambled eggs for our neighbors, using ramps _ wild leeks which were also regional and in season.We were able to keep the ostrich egg shell on our ?replace mantle for years as a memento of an interesting farmers market expedition.4) Find a new cheese.Start by blending a new cheese in with something milder and pre-approved by your children for grilled cheese sandwiches.Many cheeses are locally produced, so depending on where you live, you might end up bringing home a Vermont goat cheese, a Wisconsin sharp cheddar, a California triple creme or a blue cheese from Oregon.5) See what farm-raised eggs are all about.When you bring them home, crack open a farmer\u2019s market egg next to a supermarket egg - check out the yolk colors to see which is more vibrant.At the market, you might ask the farmer about what their chickens eat, and how that affects the yolks\u2019 color.6) Ask a farmer for a recipe.Who knows how to use these products better than the people who make them?You\u2019ll likely ?nd that the \u201crecipe\u201d you get is a simple one, a dish that allows the produce or other ingredient to shine without much adornment.7) Create a scavenger hunt: You can plan this ahead of time or let it develop organically.Searches might include: How many red vegetables can you ?nd?How any different kinds of apples can you count?How many colors of eggs are there (and can you ?nd any that are speckled)?What\u2019s the biggest melon you can ?nd?8) Find the produce with the weirdest names.Kids often love silly monikers, and you might come across Chocolate Stripe Tomatoes, Cathead Apples, Donut Peaches, Russian Banana Potatoes or Dragon Kale.After one or two visits to the market, your kids might be fast friends with the person who sells the apple cinnamon doughnuts.Don\u2019t forget to pick up a jug of cider to wash them down.(The Associated Press) Eight ways to get the most out of the farmers market with kids EAT IN AND SAVE By Marialisa Calta MARTHA WASHINGTON\u2019S CHESS CAKE Unbaked pastry for 1 (9-inch) piecrust 1 cup butter, at room temperature 1 cup sugar, divided 6 egg yolks, lightly beaten 1/4 teaspoon salt Grated zest of 1 lemon 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/3 cup dry white wine Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry.Set aside.In a large bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar.In another large bowl, using a whisk or electric mixer, beat egg yolks and salt until light and lemon-colored, at least 3 minutes.Gently beat in remaining 1/2 cup sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and wine.Add creamed butter mixture to the yolks and beat gently until combined.The mixture will be yellow and may look lumpy or curdled;

NEWS Tuesday, June 29, 2021 Borough of Lennoxville 150 Queen Street 819-569-9388 Claude Charron President Bert Collins Councillor Fairview District Jennifer Garfat Councillor Uplands District We wish you all a happy Canada Day.By Matthew McCully The parade is the part of Canada Day festivities that many people look forward to most.And not just the spectators.It\u2019s a tradition for many local organizations and families to build and decorate a ?oat on the back of a ?atbed or wagon, and then get all dressed up with bags of candy ready to toss out to waving crowds.Parades have been on hold for the past two Canada days, but there is no shortage of interesting ?oats from years past to enjoy, and maybe help inspire locals with themes and ?oat ideas in years to come post-Covid.The Record archives holds decades worth of photo spreads from Canada Day festivities (or Dominion Day, as it used to be called) showing off some interesting ?oats and memorable events from the national holiday.Among them was a photo of locals Susie Cunnington (Young) and Trudy Drew from a 1969 ?oat called the Hatley Hat Boutique, set up by the United Church Sunday school group.\u201cI remember it like it was yesterday,\u201d Young said, about sitting in front of the vanity on the ?oat, wearing a chopped-up bleach bottle on her head.\u201cI\u2019ve been trying to ?nd that picture for years!\u201d \u201cWe always did either Sunday school or 4H, we had to pick and choose,\u201d Young added.And if she wasn\u2019t on a ?oat, she was at least in the crowd watching.Such a die-hard Canadian, Young gave birth to one of her daughters on June 28 and still made it to Hatley on July 1 for baby\u2019s ?rst Canada Day.In the absence of activities and a parade this year, Young said Beulah United Church still found a way to celebrate with a bit of ?are.The church is decorated to celebrate Quebec and Canada, to demonstrate pride in both identities, and cake will be given out on July 3 for Canada\u2019s birthday, Young said.\u201cThe church is still there, and active,\u201d she said, even though it has been a quieter year than usual.While young was captured in The Record as a budding fashionista in 1969, other Townshippers have some more embarrassing moments, immortalized in the paper, to remember.Like say, getting caught with their pants down?Yes, times were different in 1966 and some people went all out for a good parade ?oat.Or at least they gave that impression.Bing MacIver assured The Record that he and his friends were indeed still clothed, they were just covered strategically by clothe around the outside of their ?oat to give the illusion of being naked for a nudist camp themed ?oat.\u201cWe used to put on in Bury parade nearly every year,\u201d MacIver said.Not just nudist ?oats.Different themes, of course, but either with friends or later with the Ceilidh Society from Scotstown, MacIver was a parade ?oat regular.\u201cUsually, we would win a prize,\u201d he said.But not all of his ?oats were winners, MacIver explained.There was one year when he and his friends got burned by their idea.\u201cFarmers were always good about loaning their double wagons and horse teams for ?oats,\u201d MacIver said.One time he and his friends were looking for the vehicle for their next great ?oat when a local farmer offered them his double wagon.\u201cIt was brand new,\u201d MacIver said, and the farmer thought, what better way to show it off.MacIver and his friends set to work getting the ?oat ready.The theme they had chosen that year was hillbillies, so they mounted a big cast iron kettle on the wagon, lit a ?re and had traveling hoedown in the Bury Canada Day parade.Well, when the party was over and they lifted the kettle off, they discovered it had burned a hole right through the framer\u2019s brand- new double wagon.\u201cWe offered to pay the damages,\u201d MacIver said, \u201cbut he wouldn\u2019t think of it.\u201d They didn\u2019t ask the farmer for his wagon the following year, MacIver said.And they didn\u2019t light any more ?res.Even on rainy years, with a layer of plastic or covered in raincoats, faithful parade participants have never failed to disappoint crowds in local towns during Canada Day.Take a look at a few favourites from over the years.Floats of parades past PHOTOS: RECORD ARCHIVES PRINTED AND

The Municipality of the Town of North Hatley wishes you a happy Canada Day! By Taylor McClure Special to Brome County News The Stanbridge East volunteer ?re department, in collaboration with the Stanbridge East Sports Association (S.E.S.A), are holding their annual fundraiser on Saturday, July 4 in celebration of Canada Day.The fundraiser is usually a picnic that takes place the Sunday closest to Canada Day, but for a second year in a row, due to COVID-19 circumstances, the fundraiser will take place drive-thru style.With purchase of a ticket, people will get a meal made up of chicken, baked potato, coleslaw, a bun and some sauce, for $16.For its part, the S.E.S.A will be selling Krispy Crème donuts, a favorite, and lemonade.The ?re department of- ?cially started the picnic fundraiser in 1968, but the idea originated in 1967, Canada\u2019s centennial year, and it has since grown into an important community celebration.\u201cIt started in 1967, the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Canada, and on that particular day, we had a big parade through Stanbridge.At the end of the parade, when the day was over, the boy scouts cooked hot dogs over camp?res and that was how it started,\u201d said Raymond Wescott, Stanbridge East ?re ?ghter for 44 years and volunteer for the annual picnic.The next year, after recognizing how the event brought the community together, the Stanbridge East volunteer ?re department decided to organize another Canada Day celebration as a picnic fundraiser in support of the team.\u201cThe next year, the ?remen decided they would cook chickens and we made a pit there to cook the chicken.The kids enjoyed the hot dogs and that so much,\u201d explained Wescott.\u201cThe ?re department was in its infancy then, but it was well established.After that, the ?re department took it over and we dug a pit behind the school grounds, where the ball ?elds are now, and we cooked the chickens there.\u201d Wescott explained that as a small town, it was hard to keep the ?re department up and running, and the fundraiser helped the group carry out their activities.\u201cThis is a small town of roughly a thousand people, the income from taxes isn\u2019t enough to sustain the ?re department.This was a means of the department raising money to buy equipment and this and that and at the same time, to help out people in the community.It is very bene?cial for the community; they do parades at Christmas for the kids, they take kids on wagons just before Christmas.They do a lot of good for the community.\u201d The Stanbridge East Sports Association started to become involved in the annual picnic fundraiser a few years in and they have been collaborating with the ?re department ever since.\u201cThe seven or eighth year, the Sports Association jumped in also and what they did for the picnic was the activities and games for the kids,\u201d said Kayla Colosimo, volunteer for the association for about eight years and recently designated as its new coordinator.Incorporated in 1987, the S.E.S.A organizes various initiatives and activities for children in the local community and is a group that depends on fundraising to keep a?oat.\u201cWe have activities for kids, sports activities.Every Christmas the funds buy children presents from Santa Clause.We give out sports awards and volunteer awards every year.For Butler school, we always gave a spokesmanship award, a ?nancial award for elementary kids, we gave them 25$.For high school it depends.It was $250 but this year it was more and it was to help the students will college and things and we picked the student.\u201d Wescott and Colosimo both emphasized how the pandemic has affected the groups which makes their fundraising activities that much more important.\u201cUnfortunately, we haven\u2019t been able to do fundraising and the majority of our funds come from fundraising.We don\u2019t have core funding, the municipality helps us out, but the majority comes from fundraising,\u201d said Colosimo.\u201cThe ?re department had to upgrade equipment to the standards of Quebec regulations with Covid which is very hard for a small town.The income to the ?re department would help the community as well as itself,\u201d added Wescott.While it\u2019s been two years in a row that the fundraiser has taken on a difference face, being held drive-thru style, Wescott and Colosimo shared fond memories of past events.\u201cI could ?ll a scrap book with those.Almost every year, the department would do something, something extrordinary for the picnic.We have a square in the town about half a mile and we\u2019ve had wheelbarrow races and I also remember some people have bicycle races,\u201d Wescott described.\u201cEvery year they would put on little display and one time we had a car which we set on ?re outside the permitter, and we drove it onto the ball ?eld with it burning.The ?remen were there to put out the ?re, it was just to excite people, we didn\u2019t want a ?re hazard.Before they got there it got too hot for them and they bailed out.That was one of the funny things I remember from all the years gone by.\u201d \u201cI just love seeing the different generations all coming together and I miss that.You have picnic tables full of three generations or four generations.\u201d Despite the changes in the event, the community continues to be supportive with already 500 tickets sold.\u201cIt\u2019s a little town but it has a big heart.I\u2019m not originally from here but I\u2019m glad that I ended up here,\u201d said Colosimo.If you are interested in buying a ticket or to order donuts, you can call the community centre in Stanbridge East at 450-248-7998.The of?ce hours are Monday to Wednesday from 9am to 12pm and it is located at 5 Academy Street, Stanbridge East.The Stanbridge East fundraiser that keeps on giving PHOTOS COURTESY PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW CANADA DAY \u2022 BROME COUNTY NEWS Tuesday, June 29, 2021 Page 5 Garage Mécanique Fletcher General Mechanic Happy Canada Day to all our loyal customers.Thanks for your confidence.Peter & Lucie Please note that we will be closed on Thursday, July 1st, 2021.3040 ch.Capelton, North Hatley 819 842-2914 www.garagemecaniquefletcher.com RECORD ARCHIVES Canada Day was known as \u201cDominion Day\u201d until October 27, 1982.From the June 29, 1967 edition of The Record\u2019s Canada Day supplement PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 6 CANADA DAY \u2022 BROME COUNTY NEWS Tuesday, June 29, 2021 Happy Canada Day! from the Toyota Richmond Team RICHMOND w w w .t o y o t a r i c h m o n d .c o m 151 Route 116, Richmond \u2022 Tel.: 819-826-5923 \u2022 Toll free: 1-800-363-1616 Depanneur 819-826-3721 819-826-3721 819-826-3306 819-826-3501 555 Craig Street, Richmond Happy Canada Day!

Some think of Calixa Lavallée as an obscure music teacher who improvised a patriotic song in a moment of inspiration, but the truth is quite different.Known as \u201cCanada\u2019s national musician\u201d, Calixa Lavallée was asked to compose the music for a poem written by Adolphe-Basile Routhier.The song was to be performed in honour of the Congrès national des Canadiens- Français (National Congress of French Canadian), on June 24, 1880, at the same time as the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day celebrations.Government oficials had irst thought of holding a competition for a national hymn, but by January the committee in charge decided there was not enough time.So the Lieutenant- Governor of Quebec, the Honourable Théodore Robitaille, commissioned Judge Routhier to write a hymn and Lavallée to compose the music.Lavallée made a number of drafts before the song we know today was greeted with enthusiasm by his musical friends.It is said that in his excitement, Lavallée rushed to show his music to the LieutenantGovernor without even stopping to sign the manuscript.The irst performance took place on June 24, 1880, at a banquet in the Pavillon des Patineurs, in the City of Québec.It was a highlight in the \u201cMosaïque sur des airs populaires canadiens \u201d arranged by a prominent composer and bandmaster, Joseph Vézina.Although this irst rendition of \u201cO Canada\u201d \u2013 with Routhier\u2019s French words \u2013 was well received, it does not seem to have made a lasting impression.Arthur Lavigne, a Quebec musician and music dealer, published it without copyright but there was no rush to reprint.Lavallée\u2019s obituary in 1891 does not mention it among his accomplishments, nor does a biography of Judge Routhier published in 1898.English Canada probably irst heard \u201cO Canada\u201d when schoolchildren sang it for the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall (later King George V and Queen Mary) when they toured Canada in 1901.Five years later, the Toronto company Whaley and Royce published the music with the French text and a translation into English by Dr.Thomas Bedford Richardson.Around this time, the Mendelssohn Choir used Richardson\u2019s lyrics in one of their performances, and Judge Routhier and the French press complimented the author.Richardson\u2019s version: \u201cO Canada! Our fathers\u2019 land of old Thy brow is crown\u2019d with leaves of red and gold.Beneath the shade of the Holy Cross Thy children own their birth No stains thy glorious annals gloss Since valour shield thy hearth.Almighty God! On thee we call Defend our rights, forfend this nation\u2019s thrall, Defend our rights, forfend this nation\u2019s thrall.\u201d In 1908, Collier\u2019s Weekly magazine held a competition to write new English lyrics for \u201cO Canada\u201d.The competition was won by Mercy E.Powell McCulloch, but her version never took.McCulloch\u2019s version: \u201cO Canada! in praise of thee we sing; From echoing hills our anthems proudly ring.With fertile plains and mountains grand With lakes and rivers clear, Eternal beauty, thos dost stand Throughout the changing year.Lord God of Hosts! We now implore Bless our dear land this day and evermore, Bless our dear land this day and evermore.\u201d Since then, many English versions have been written for \u201cO Canada\u201d.The poet Wilfred Campbell wrote one, as did Augustus Bridle, a Toronto critic.Some were written for the 1908 Tercentenary of the City of Québec.A version written by Ewing Buchan became the most popular patriotic song on the West Coast.Buchan\u2019s version: \u201cO Canada, our heritage, our love Thy worth we praise all other lands above.From sea to sea throughout their length From Pole to borderland, At Britain\u2019s side, whate\u2019er betide Un?inchingly we\u2019ll stand With hearts we sing, \u201cGod save the King\u201d, Guide then one Empire wide, do we implore, And prosper Canada from shore to shore.\u201d The most popular version was written in 1908 by Robert Stanley Weir, a lawyer and Recorder of the City of Montréal.A slightly modiied version of the 1908 poem was published in an oficial form for the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation in 1927 and gradually became the most widely accepted and performed version of this song in English speaking Canada.The French lyrics of 1880 remain unchanged.Following other minor changes, the irst verse of Weir\u2019s poem was proclaimed as Canada\u2019s national anthem when Parliament passed the National Anthem Act, in 1980: \u201cO Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command.With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North, strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, We stand on guard for thee.God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.\u201d On January 31, 2018, legislation was enacted to change \u201cTrue patriot love in all thy sons command\u201d to \u201cTrue patriot love in all of us command,\u201d ensuring gender parity.No change was required to the French version.(www.canada.ca) The history of \u201cO Canada\u201d PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 10 CANADA DAY \u2022 BROME COUNTY NEWS Tuesday, June 29, 2021 200 Saint-Jean St.East, East Angus (QC) J0B 1R0 Phone : 819 560-8600 | Fax : 819-560-8611 E-mail: info.eastangus@hsfqc.ca | Website: eastangus.ca Happy Canada Day ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION Branch #10, Sherbrooke Guy Marchessault, President legion?liale10@gmail.com 819-563-4944 EXPERT LAND SURVEYORS SINCE 1949 AN EXPERIENCE THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE COWANSVILLE \u2022 GRANBY \u2022 BROMONT \u2022 FARNHAM \u2022 MANSONVILLE Happy Canada Day! www.proparinc.com 65, rue Winder Tel.: 819 566-8211 C.P.148 Succ, Lennoxville Sherbrooke (Québec) Fax: 819 821-2513 CANADA J1M 1Z4 A ?oat from Bury in past celebrations By Matthew McCully Celebrating Canada Day has been a challenge for the past two years.But there will come a time when we can gather again and sing and dance and celebrate.When that time comes, what Canada Day tradition do you most look forward to enjoying?Building a ?oat?Touring the kiosks on the Hatley Common?Seeing the big horse teams horses trotting down the street?For those who attend the Bury Canada Day festivities, the strawberry shortcake sale at the armoury and community centre is an annual favourite.Something to look forward to\u2026 Above: past Canada Day celebrations in Richmond PHOTOS FROM RECORD ARCHIVES PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW CANADA DAY \u2022 BROME COUNTY NEWS Tuesday, June 29, 2021 Page 11 Archive photos from Hatley Canada Day celebrations PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 12 CANADA DAY \u2022 BROME COUNTY NEWS Tuesday, June 29, 2021 Loving Hearts \u2022 Nursing and assistance care services \u2022 Registered nurse \u2022 Registered nursing assistant \u2022 Nurses aid \u2022 Medical services \u2022 Pharmacy services Since 1935 A dedicated team providing care with love and attention Accredited by: \u2022 Occupational and physical therapy \u2022 Activities department \u2022 Food services \u2022 Housekeeping services \u2022 Laundry service \u2022 Hair and foot care services \u2022 Religious services 5305 Courville Avenue, Waterloo, QC J0E 2N0 | (450) 539-1821 | www.santecourville.com & Giving Hands PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW "]
