school cafeteria, while also taking in the sights and sounds of Townships’ arts and culture through a variety of performances on the indoor auditorium stage and an outdoor performance space.

“I’m quite delighted, so many things are coming together for us today,” Townshippers’ Association President Gerald Cutting said in the early afternoon, hailing the event as a great success. “We have great weather and I think a lot of people have taken this opportunity to see what is happening at the Townshippers festival.”

Cutting also shared that he was very thankful to the local provincial and federal politicians who came out for the day, including MNAS Isabelle Charette and Genevieve Hebert, the political attaché for Premier Francois Legault, and Compton-stanstead MP

Bibeau.

Rachel Hunting, Executive Director of the association, estimated that the event drew around 2000 visitors throughout the day.

"We couldn't have asked for better weather," Hunting said. "It was a great day all around; the site flowed well, activities were plentiful, well organized and easy to get to. This year's organizing Marie-claude committee did a beautiful job and they'd like to especially thank the team at Massey-vanier for their incredible help during setup."

Thanks to the dedicated work of the volunteer “green team” the event was also able to feed and entertain the crowds all while producing only one bag of garbage. All other waste was either compostable or recyclable.
