Townshippers’ Association is holding a one-day multi-sectoral symposium entitled NEW INSIGHTS: Eastern Townships English-speaking Community. The program will encompass health promotion and demographic research relevant to the Eastern Townships English-speaking minority and various health determinants – the building blocks of a vital community.

In the Montérégie East, this symposium is planned for Tuesday, March 23, at the Day’s Inn, Cowansville. In the Estrie, it is to take place on Wednesday, March 24, at Bishop’s University, Lennoxville.

These events are part of the Eastern Townships Health Promotion Project, and will include presentations of the results of research carried out during the first phase of this initiative.
