Participants wanted: English tea, a treasured heritage. Uplands Cultural and Heritage Centre is looking for men and women from Lennoxville (or any other English-speaking community of the Eastern Townships), who participated in traditional teas between the years 1940 and 2010, whether in their family homes or during social activities (charitable fundraising, various celebrations, parish meetings, etc.). We’re hoping to hear your stories, in order to help us learn as much as we can about the tea tradition in this region, with the goal of creating new interpretive material for our visitors. We would ask for approximately 45 minutes of your time for an interview. If you are interested in this project, or if you would like more information about it, please contact Julie at 819-564-0409.
