Meeting regarding the old Lac Brome Foster golf course development proposal

Apublic meeting will be held on December 6 at 7 p.m. by concerned residents at the Ovide Dagenais hall in Foster to discuss the proposed development on the old Lac Brome Foster golf course.

The main objectives of the meeting are

· To encourage residents to get involved;

· To suggest questions to be presented to the developer at the official TBL sponsored presentation of the proposed project on Sat., December 9 at 11 a.m. also at the Ovide Dagenais hall.

It must be pointed out that there is no intention to encourage residents to assume a needlessly negative attitude towards the project but merely to get them to take on the responsibility of watching out for and reacting to any negative aspects to their situation that the project may produce, especially in the area of

· Costs of infrastructure attributed to the project being possibly deflected onto existing residents;

· Any danger of the project’s water or sewer requirements threatening the proper operation of those of nearby residents;

· Possibility of increase in taxation. Again, the objective is to maintain a positive point of view and to assure the outcome will acceptable.

The traditional fall group shows will have a new momentum in September with a thematic series that will take over from the series covering the range of colors, presented from 2009 to 2017. For the next five years, a strategic vision will be revealed with five words offered to all artists, working all mediums. Whether they are painters, sculptors, engravers, photographers, or ceramists, all the ideas playing with the words “Fil, Filon, Fabric, Fibre, and Textile” will be allowed and will be used as themes for the collectives from 2018 to 2022:

2018: The thread of time

2019: Such a Golden thread, 2020: The Fabric of history

2021: Preserving thread

2022: The textile heritage of Cowansville

The exhibition The Thread of Time will be the first thematic exhibition in the series, which will end with the centenary of the Bruck Mills spinning mill, in 2022. At the same time, these collective exhibitions will offer another way to celebrate the heritage of Cowansville, the textile industry in Cowansville and the region.
