Empowerment and Success

2022 Project:  To continue the free one-week educational summer day camp in August for ages 10 to 13 to help students ease back into the school year. The summer camp focuses on STEM activities (science, technology, engineering, math) and local excursions to increase a local and regional sense of pride.

About: Phelps Aide Phelps Helps was founded in 2012 to expressly combat the unacceptably high drop-out rates in the Stanstead area of Quebec. Since its founding, the organization has grown organically from a single high school tutoring program to six individual programs aimed at providing educational and career support.

2022 Project: The aim of this project is to showcase Uplands’ educational collection by creating an inventory which will allow us to develop educational workshops. These workshops, in which local senior tea tradition experts will be key references, will contribute to the sustainability of this local tradition within its community, as well as the promotion of this linguistic minority heritage to a more diverse audience, such as younger generations.

About: Housed in a stately and elegant heritage house in Sherbrooke (1862), Uplands Cultural and Heritage Centre combines history with local cultural and artistic traditions. The centre generates a sense of community spirit and acts as a base for creative activities for its members, its user groups and the community at large. Uplands is a unique cultural establishment – we exhibit the works of regional artists, the English tea experience (group rates), various cultural activities, as well as an impressive collection of antiques belonging to the Lennoxville-Ascot Historical and Museum Society.
