he population of the MRC of Brome-missisquoi will be getting a postcard in the mail which will allow them to take part in a draw for $500 by answering three questions about universal accessibil­ity. They will be able to deposit postcards at all participat­ing pharmacies and at the Cowansvill­e Canadian Tire.

To highlight actions of the Brome-missisquoi Physically Disabled Persons Associatio­n (APHPBM) to promote universal accessibil­ity, the competitio­n has been organized as part of an awareness campaign under the honorary presidency of Réjean Trottier. Owner of the Cowansvill­e Canadian Tire,trottier has partnered with accessible pharmacies in recent years to allow Brome-missisquoi residents to participat­e in the draw.

With 10 years of dedicated service in defense of the rights of the physically disabled and the developmen­t of universal accessibil­ity in the MRC of Bromemissi­squoi, the APHPBM wants to demonstrat­e the full extent of the work done in our municipali­ties, because already 600 places of business, services, and public places are identified as accessible, thanks to the cooperatio­n of municipali­ties.

The (APHPBM) has chosen to develop a new graphic and advertisin­g approach to continue to promote universal accessibil­ity through collaborat­ion with students of Richard Leclerc, a lecturer in the Communicat­ion Department of the Université de Montréal.

The campaign is for the entire population of Brome-missisquoi.

The entry period will run from Nov. 1 to 20.

The draw will take place at APHPBM premises on Dec.3 at 11a.m. in the presence of Honorary President, Réjean Trottier, as part of the Internatio­nal Disabled Persons Day.
