Coaticook Gorge to light up the night for
third consecutive year
By Phil Rich
W
ith opening night
fast approaching,
the
Coaticook
Gorge is once again set to
thrill visitors with its third
annual Foresta Lumina light
show. A one-of-a kind experience for all ages, the activity
has become a favourite of
both locals and tourists
alike.
Established by the Gorge
as a way to create a revolutionary product and promote
tourism,
Foresta
Lumina has drawn rave reviews from the vast majority
of visitors who have been a
part of this unique experience. Critics agree, and the
Forest Lumina was awarded
the Thea Award from the
Themed Entertainment Association (TEA).
The event combines elements of storytelling and
light and laser technology as well as a distinct location
carved out of perhaps the
most prominent natural
wonder in the Eastern Townships - as a way to introduce
those participating in the
event to the local history and
significance of Coaticook
and the Gorge itself. A fun,
dazzling, and sometimes
spooky walking adventure,
Forest Lumina makes for a
perfect summer night activ-

Art circuit offers visitors intimate
peek inside
By Phil Rich
T
he Tour des Arts, an annual art festival held in
various municipalities
in the Eastern Townships,
will be held July 16 to 24. In
its 28th year, the event gives
visitors the opportunity to
meet artists from around
the Eastern Townships and
see their work on display in
towns like Sutton, Lac
Brome, Bolton, and Mansonville.
Thirty-nine artists are expected to take part in the
2016 Tour des Arts. As a fun
alternative to traditional art
shows, the artists open their
homes and studios to those
participating in the tour.
Going from studio to studio,
visitors are able to observe
demonstrations and interact
with the artists in their own
spaces to get a better feel for
the artist's inspiration and
learn more about the creative process that is involved.
There is a wide variety of
art forms that are a part of
the tour, including painting,
pottery, furniture making,
and jewelry making, among
others. All artists are local to
the Townships, and their
work is available for purchase.
Stanley Lake, a local potter and co-founder of the
Tour des Arts, believes that
the event has major economic advantages for the
artists, and more importantly for the region itself.
“Sixty per cent of those touring are from outside the
area,” Lake said. “This is one
of the reasons that we get so
much support from the municipalities.”
According to Lake, the
Tour des Arts attracts between 5,000 and 7,000 visitors annually and he
describes it as an important
economic stimulus for the
area. “Eighty to 90 per cent
of those participating will
eat at a local restaurant,” he
stated, alluding to the benefits of the event for local
businesses.
Furthermore, the event is
extremely lucrative for the
participating artists. The
artists see traffic in their
studio rise dramatically,
with sales increasing as a result of this. “Over 100 visitors stop by [my studio] per
day during the tour,” said
Lake, “which is obviously
GROUPEGUYSTLOUIS.COM
good for business.”
The tour also hosts
evening events throughout
the week to wind down after
a long day of touring studios
throughout the region. The
schedule includes dinners,
concerts, poetry readings,
and dancing. Events will be
held in Sutton, Lac Brome,
and many of the surrounding municipalities.

the artists participating in
the tour and for a map of
the various locations that
are a part of this year’s tour,

times. The event runs from
June 17 to Oct. 9 and reservations - online or by phone are highly encouraged. Now
in its third year, the show
continues to be increasingly
popular and the results are a
clear reflection of its popularity. Tourism for the park
and the region has received
a significant boost since the
Foresta Lumina started.
Although the park’s
biggest draw occurs at night,
there are ample opportunities to visit during the day as
well. The Gorge features an
extensive network of walking trails, as well as camping,
a

of North America’s longest

Hip hopping through the Townships
By Phil Rich
T
he Eastern Townships
has slowly become a desirable destination for
those who love their beer.
Boasting an impressive number of microbreweries from
Farnham to Stanstead, the
area has historically been a
place where beer - the production and consumption of
it - is intrinsically linked to
its heritage.
That being said, there are
numerous ways to explore
the Eastern Townships. One
may decide to bike through
the region. Or camp their
way. Or even eat their way.
But potentially the best option of all for those who love
beer?
Sip your way through the
region.
Craft beer has emerged as
a burgeoning industry, with
microbreweries slowly supplanting the traditional beer
industry in the last decade or
so. This has become apparent
in the Eastern Townships es-
pecially, which has steadily
become a major contributor
to Quebec’s craft beer industry.
Take Brouemont for example. Located in Bromont, a
small town with a worldclass industrial park, ski
slope, water park and agricultural centre, located
about an hour’s drive from
Montreal, Brouemont offers
a host of options for both
beer lovers and foodies. Officially considered a “microbrasserie”, Brouemont has
become a premier destination for those visiting
Bromont to enjoy the outdoor activities that the town
has to offer.
After a long day of hiking
and biking during the summer, or skiing in winter, a decent beer and food is
generally in order and Brouemont is just the place. Boasting an extensive drink menu,
including an impressive 15
beers on tap, there is something for all visitors to enjoy.
All the beers are brewed on
location and include specialties such as the rousse a l’erable (Maple Red) and the
framboise et miel (HoneyRaspberry).
Another terrific option is
Lennoxville’s Golden Lion
Pub and Brewery. Located
just outside of downtown
Sherbrooke and down the
street from Bishop’s University, the Lion may be the perfect place for a mid-day patio
drink on a sunny afternoon.
Established in 1986 and
widely considered Quebec’s
first official microbrewery,
the brewery offers five beers
year round - and an additional blueberry/watermelon
wheat beer during the summer season - and also sells its
beer in local stores.
The brewery’s old-fashioned open-vat brewing sets
it apart from other microbreweries, making it not only
a unique place to visit, but
also an overall unique experience. Not to worry, the town
is usually devoid of students
during the summer months.
If you’re seeking a more
urban option, then check out
Siboire in downtown Sherbrooke. Situated within the
city’s restored train station,
Siboire’s
first
location
opened in 2007 and thrived.
In order to accommodate
more customers a second location was opened near Lacdes-Nations, not far from the
original location.
Offering roughly 10 beers
plus several other revolving
specialties, there is no shortage of choices at either of the
locations. As an added
bonus, the staff is friendly,
the food is good, and it is located right next to one of the
city’s central public transit
terminals.
In addition, there are
many other Townships’ microbreweries worth checking
out, namely Le Grimoire in
Granby, Microbrasserie de
Coaticook, and Brasserie
Dunham, and all are sure to
make for a delicious and different Eastern Townships experience.

A fall tradition with deep roots
By Phil Rich
T
raditionally, the Eastern Townships has
been primarily an agricultural sector. The region
boasts deep agricultural
roots, which have influenced
the development of this part
of the province for centuries.
More importantly, many of
the activities presented
throughout the summer
months allow those visiting
the Townships to learn more
about farm production.
These learning opportunities complement other activities that the Townships has
to offer, and allow visitors to
get a better understanding
of food-to-table issues.
There are several exhibition fairs staged in various
towns and counties throughout the townships in August
and September. These fairs
have been a hallmark of the
region for close to 200 years
and continue to thrive today.
Fairs feature the crème-de-lacrème of farm stock and
offer activities for the whole
family, including locally-produced food, crafts, carnival
games, music, parades, and
many events which involve
farm animals.
The Coaticook Valley Fair
is set to kick off the fair season Aug. 4 to 7 and it will be
followed by Quebec’s oldest
agricultural fair in Bedford
which will be celebrating its
193rd year from Aug. 11 to
14. Both will welcome thousands of enthusiastic visitors
looking to enjoy the dairy
products that these towns
are known for.
If visiting the Townships
towards the end of August,
be sure to make your way to
Cookshire-Eaton and Ayer’s
Cliff. Cookshire-Eaton hosts
the Compton County Agricultural Society’s agricultural exhibition Aug. 18 to
21, while the 171st annual
Ayer’s Cliff agricultural fair
is the following weekend
from Aug. 25 to 28.
Finally,
perhaps
the
biggest fair will arrive come
September. The Expo Brome
Fair traditionally takes place
over four days on Labour Day
weekend and welcomes upwards of 45,000 attendees
each year. This year’s edition
is scheduled for
Sept. 2 to 5. A wide
variety of food stalls,
carnival
games,
barns, and machinery will be on display, along with
locally-grown produce and handmade
crafts. Sunday afternoon’s grand parade
is the crowning moment of a terrific
weekend and is not
to be missed. The
town of Richmond
signals the end of
the fair season from Sept. 8
to 11.
WIth something for everyone, agricultural fairs are a
unique experience for all
ages; ultimately helping to
celebrate
the
summer
months and usher in the
harvest season, all the while
preserving the Townships’
unique agricultural identity.

Camp under the stars in Mont-Mégantic
National Park
By Phil Rich
T
here are over 25 provincial parks located
across Quebec. Under
the administration of the Société des Etablissements de
Plein Air du Quebec (SÉPAQ),
all have their own unique
features and offer a wide variety of activities that are
sure to please all outdoor enthusiasts.
Parc national du Mont-Mégantic is no different. It’s
just a little darker.
Featuring numerous hiking and biking trails, camping, cross-country skiing,
snowshoeing, and more,
Mont-Mégantic has become a
mecca for stargazers - both
amateur and professional from across the globe.
A certified International
Dark Sky Reserve, and in fact
the first of its kind to have
received this designation,
the park offers visitors the
opportunity to appreciate a
night sky like no other
across Canada during the
winter and summer months.
Thanks to a distinct lack of
light pollution in the park
and the surrounding area,
the night sky above the park
becomes one of the premier
light shows in the world. Lit
up by millions of stars that
are distinguishable with the
naked eye.
This night sky experience
is unparalleled. Very few
dark sky preserves exist internationally. In fact just 10
reserves worldwide have
been officially deemed dark
sky zones by the International Dark-Sky Association.
Furthermore, of those 10,
Mont-Mégantic is the only
North American location to
have achieved this certification.
For those interested in

learning more about the
night sky than their campsites have to offer, visitors
can attend a workshop at the
ASTROLab - an observatory
located at the top of one of
the mountain’s ridges.
Perhaps the park’s biggest
tourist-draw, the research
centre was built in 1978 and
provides an educational
component to a visit to the
park. Visitors may book activities and tour times in
order to learn more about
the night sky, and have the
opportunity to use the observatory's world-class telescope.
The ASTROLab also organizes astronomy evenings for
special occasions, such as
the Perseid meteor shower
and its own Popular Astronomy Festival to be held the
second and third weekends
of July.
Although a significant
emphasis is placed on its
night-time attractions, the
park offers many daytime activities as well. With over 25
kilometres of trails - 17 dedicated solely to hiking - MontMegantic is a hiker’s dream.
In addition, there is cycling
in parts of the park and the
surrounding area, as well as
various camping options.
These include traditional
campsites, rustic camping,
and the increasingly popular
“Huttopia” style of tent; a
permanent structure that is
available for rent and includes basic furnishings.
Regardless of whether it is
day or night, Parc National
du Mont-Megantic offers visitors a once in a lifetime experience.

TRUE and FALSE – A Medical Tourism Quiz
Statement #1) A medical tourist is someone who is required to leave their home country for health procedures.
FALSE - Think of tourism in the way we take a vacation. We can be tourists in our own towns, our own cities, our regions, our own provinces, our
own country or around the world. Medical tourism involves exploring our options for care, in order to determine what is best for us.
Statement #2) The Fraser Institute's most recent wait times report finds that wait times (GP to treatment) have almost doubled since 1993.
TRUE - The above quote comes from Fraser Institute Senior Economist Bacchus Barua, who states further that, "Worse, physicians report that
patients generally wait almost three weeks longer than what they consider clinically reasonable (after consultation with a specialist)." (Both quotes
from Bacchus Barua's piece for the Huffington Post Canada, entitled "Canada's Health‐care System is Failing to Deliver Timely Care to Patients".)
Statement #3) Medical tourism means going to a clinic, hospital or centre for a procedure.
FALSE - While that is the case for some medical tourists, many travel for recovery, staying at resorts, spas or hotels in order to rest, relax and repair.
Others may travel to specialty retreats to cope with challenges that are more mental or intellectual. Medical tourism may also involve caregivers
who travel for respite time, in order to manage their energy and to rest.
Statement #4) Financing options for medical tourism do exist.
TRUE - Cost is always involved in care and recovery, even when using the public healthcare systems. However, paying for private treatment may
reduce the amount of time a person must wait to return to work, may speed up recovery, and may reduce further injury or worsening symptoms,
among other encouraging variables. When Jamie, a Townships resident, required voice surgery unavailable in Canada, she took out a bank loan in
order to pay for the surgery, the trip and her stay. The results were very positive, and her surgery successful. This was an investment in changing
her life for the better.
Statement #5) When Canadians opt for medical tourism, they are on their own in terms of exploring options for care, including choosing
professionals, hospitals, and clinics.
FALSE - There are facilitator organizations across Canada that specialize in medical tourism ‐ helping people make their decisions and arrangements,
such as MedBrick and Global Healthcare Connections. They can help reduce your wait time, increase your options, acquire second opinions about
treatments and procedures, save up to 70% on costs, act as an advocate for you (and maintains the connection between you and your potential
providers, can serve as medical travel insurance agents (full service, licensed), offer financing options, and keep a comfortable recovery for you in
mind.
Statement #6) Traveling abroad for treatment or care could affect relationships at home.
TRUE - The SFU MedTour Group (as quoted in statement #6) has created a useful and helpful medical tourism resource called
www.medicaltourismandme.com. Great points on navigating doctor‐patient relationships are featured within their helpful points and testi‐
monials.
Remember ‐ medical tourism involves important components that are often overlooked ‐ exploring our health involves options, opportunities, and
alternatives...and most importantly, ownership of our own health.
Bacchus Barua, Senior Economist with the Fraser Institute, Dr. Valorie Crooks, Professor at SFU and founding member of the SFU MedTour group,
Adele Kulyk, CMTS, CEO and founder of Global Healthcare Connections, among a roster of other accomplished health care studies professionals,
including Dr. Brian Goldman, host of CBC's White Coat, Black Art, will be speaking at Destination Health ‐ Canada's Medical Tourism Trade Show, to
be held at Ottawa's Shaw Centre, from September 9th ‐ 11th, 2016. For more information, visit www.destinationhealth.ca.

Brome Lake Duck Festival set to return with
new twist
By Phil Rich
A
perfect example of
what has become a
successful
agrotourism industry, the Brome
Lake Duck Festival will continue to be a staple in the
Eastern Townships during
this year’s summer and fall
season. The festival is held
annually in the town of
Knowlton and will return for
its 21st edition.
Traditionally hosted over
two weekends in September,
the festival features numerous vendors and exhibitors
from across the province.
The exhibitors offer a wide
range of products. Cheese,
meats, jams, ciders, wines,
artisanal crafts such as jewelry and pottery, and of
course duck, are among the
Inn
products on display in the
streets of Knowlton.
This year’s edition of the
festival will feature a slight
deviation from its traditional formula. Led by a
team of two new coordinators - Armand Gaudet and
Michel Fournier - the festival
will prioritize local cuisine
and restaurants, rather than
the street festival itself.
“We’re looking to place an
emphasis on gourmet food
and
restaurants,”
said
Gaudet in a phone interview
on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
“We really want to focus on
working with restaurants to
create a wider variety of
duck plates. Diversity in
restaurants is important to
the festival, especially with
duck.”
More significantly, the
Microbrewery
street festival will only be
held on the second official
weekend of the festival Sept. 24 and 25. According
to Gaudet, the proposal
tabled by him and Fournier
focused more on making
September a month celebrating duck, rather than just
the two weekends. Since this
is the case, less emphasis
will be placed on the street
festival element and more
on the importance of restaurants in the region. The proposal has been accepted and
is considered a favourable alternative to the traditional
festival.
It is important to note
that many of the festival’s
classic events will continue.
Local food and drink exhibitors, lessons on how to
properly cook with duck,
musical performances, and
all sorts of kids’ activities
will still be on. The festival
attracts visitors from all
areas, including many from
Montreal and the Montérégie.
Organized in honour of
the famous Brome Lake
duck, the festival takes on a
special significance this year
as it arrives on the heels of
January’s tragic fire that
claimed the lives of an estimated 50,000 ducks. The
fire, which occurred at the
Brome Lake duck facility in
Racine, Quebec, also resulted in approximately $3
million in damages.

Duck Festival please contact

Commerce at 450-242-2870.

Teeing off in the Townships
By Phil Rich
A
lthough it often ends
up being more infuriating than enjoyable,
golfing is still one of the best
activities a Townships’ summer has to offer. There is no
shortage of golfing experiences available in the Eastern Townships, with the vast
majority promising high
quality courses set against
picturesque backdrops.
Luckily for those who are
seeking a game of golf at a
reasonable rate, there are
many options available
throughout the Eastern
Townships. Boasting the
highest concentration of golf
courses in Quebec, this region of the province features
some of the oldest and most
scenic courses around; making it not only a destination
for outdoor enthusiasts but
for those who are avid
golfers as well.
Many of the courses
throughout the Eastern
Townships are in fact private, but there are numerous
public courses that are both
historic and offer decent
rates.
The Old Lennoxville Golf
Club is one such course. Established in 1897, the course
is located just outside of
downtown Sherbrooke, adjacent to Bishop’s University.
The course is owned and operated in conjunction with
the school. Public rather
than private, “Old Lenn” is a
nine-hole course that is perfect for those looking for a
quick round.
Green fees are reasonable.
For adults, nine holes is $18
tax included and a special
rate is offered for after 4 p.m.
An 18-hole round is only $7
more. Clubs and carts are
available for rent, and the
course also has a small driving range. Special rates are
offered for juniors, Bishop’s,
and Champlain students.
In neighbouring Waterville, Club de Golf Waterville
was established at the turn
of the century and still
thrives today. A nine-hole
course nestled in the hills,
Waterville is more challenging than its competitors, but
still provides a fun experience for all skill levels.
Green fees amount to $20
per person for non-members,
$30 for an additional nine
holes, and only $15 after 2
p.m. This year, in partnership with Camping du Pont
Couvert, the course is offering a $5 discount to those
camping at their sites in
Milby or Waterville.
Finally, potentially the
best golf deal in the Eastern
Townships can be found in
Granby. Club de Golf Granby
St Paul offers spectacular
rates for both nine and 18
holes all week long. Golfers
can play for just $12 per
round, while 18 holes is just
$25 during the week and $32
on the weekends. Various
promotional packages are offered for the stunning
course situated between
Montreal and Sherbrooke.
There is no shortage of
golf courses - both public
and private - in the Townships. Other favourites that
have attracted golfers from
kids to celebs include the
Cowansville Golf Course,
Royal Bromont, Dufferin
Golf
Course,
and
Longchamps in Sherbrooke,
Tee off in any town and
you’re bound to be close to a
green.

Fête des Vendanges celebrates harvest season
By Phil Rich
O
ne of the benefits of
the Eastern Townships
having deep agricultural roots is the food and
drink that result from them.
The Townships is littered
with high quality bars and
restaurants that are popular
during the summer months,
as tourists and locals take advantage of the warm
weather.
Since 1993, Magog’s Fête
des Vendanges marks the
end of the summer season by
celebrating the region’s rich
harvest. Essentially a large
farmers’ market but with
corporate sponsors, the festival takes place Sept. 5, 6, 7,
12, and 15. The Fête des Vendanges ushers in the fall season with all sorts of food,
drinks, and brings music to
the shores of Lac Memphremagog. In addition,
other activities can be found
in downtown Magog during
these dates.
A variety of exhibitors will
be present at the festival.
Cider, wine, and other alcohol producers from across
Quebec will make up the
drinking portion of the
event, while many artisanal
food stands will be on site as

well. This includes cheese,
meat, and honey producers,
and bakeries too.
Several different packages
are offered for those wishing
to attend the festival, which
is hosted in conjunction
with the SAQ. Packages
range from $10 to $30 and all
include access to the tasting
pavilion for one day, as well
as the opportunity to attend

Rails to Trails:
Cycling in the Eastern Townships
By Phil Rich
T
he Eastern Townships
region has become one
of the premier cycling
destinations in Quebec.
Whether an avid cyclist or
just someone who is interested in exploring some new
places for a day, there is a variety of bicycle paths, trails,
and routes for whatever kind
of cycling one prefers.
Interestingly, there has
been a distinct emphasis
place on a new sort of trail:
converted railbeds. Originally train lines that have
since become out of commission, “rail trails” are bicycle
trails that have been bought
from the railway companies
The bike trail in Hatley
and converted into accessible bike trails.
The process is generally
conducted by non-profit organizations, such as Rails to
Trails and Sentiers Massawippi, however municipal and
provincial governments are
essential in leading the campaign by either directing the
actual conversion to a bike
trail or providing different
forms of funding. Private
donors are also crucial to the
process, often donating
money for non-profit projects.
Perhaps the most notable
sections of rail trails are
those that run from
Lennoxville to North Hatley,
and the Tomifobia Nature
Trail. Both part of the Route
Verte system of Quebec bike
paths, these trails allow for
an unparalleled cycling experience, steeped in history.
The stretch running from
Lennoxville follows the Massawippi River as it makes its
way from Sherbrooke to
North Hatley. Like most rail
trails, the path is almost perfectly flat due to the gentle
gradients that are characteristic of railways. This is one
of the bonuses of rail trails
as they allow for an easier cycling experience, making
them good options for all
skill levels.
Originally a Canadian Pacific (CP) line that was abandoned in 1990, the Hatley
railway bed acted as a transportation thoroughfare for
the copper mining industry
that was present in the hills
of this part of the Townships.
Aside from the converted
rail beds, copper mining continues to have a presence
along the trail to this day;
the tailing ponds from the
smelting factories can be
seen from the path and, if

with the help of local sponsors. A scenic trail that also
happens to be a turtle sanctuary, it is in a sense a continuation of the Hatley trail
and is just as historical. It
runs from Ayer’s Cliff to the
small town of Beebe.
As far is funding is concerned, the trail relies on donations, both public and
private, as well as government grants to maintain the
completing a decent
stretch of the trail, it is likely
that cyclists will pass the
Capelton Mines which offers
tours of a now defunct copper mine, during the summer months.
The Tomifobia Nature
Trail was part of the same CP
line and was purchased by
Sentiers Massawippi in 1995
trail during the year. CP no
longer has anything to do
with the trails following purchases by non-profits. This
makes donations that much
more important for the
preservation of the trail.
For more information on
the Tomifobia trail or to donate, please visit the website
