Its mission is to receive clothing, tableware, and toys in good condition graciously provided by donors and to sell them in its store located at 151, rue Bowen Nord. The store is open to everyone and offers a variety of quality products at the lowest prices on the market. Its revenues are distributed as financial support to various community organizations in Sherbrooke. The Comptoir familial also offers stop-gap services to people referred by organizations by providing them with free clothing. By recycling the clothes and various other items it receives, the Comptoir familial gives a second useful life to these items and therefore contributes to reducing pressure on the environment.

Festival des traditions du monde de Sherbrooke The Festival’s success over the years has reflected the quality of the work of its volunteers. More than 550 volunteers work relentlessly to make this an event that brings the community together! Volunteerism plays an extraordinary role in the Festival’s inner workings. Volunteers provide invaluable help, and the time that they give is key to the event’s success. The Festival des traditions du monde de Sherbrooke would like to thank its volunteers for their commitment and dedication. Classique PIF Members of the local community are involved in and voluntarily give their time to this event, which celebrated its 40th anniversary this year. Each year, more than 150 volunteers help organize the Classique Pif. Some volunteers have been with the organization for several years and some have been there for every edition. Their tremendous contributions and commitment each year ensure the continuity of activities, as well as the success of the event. The Classique Pif would not be what it is today without the involvement and dedication of its volunteers, who share a passion for the community and for slo-pitch. InfoSherbrookois | Winter 2015-2016 135 Borough Services FEATURED ARTIST Renée-Marthe Royer is a Sherbrooke artist. Initially attracted to sculpture and acrylics, she recently returned to painting with a focus on watercolour, an interest she developed while completing a certificate in visual arts at the Université de Sherbrooke. Artist and Professor Tiziana Tabbia Plomteux, whom she met during her studies, had a great influence on her, which helped her refine her own aesthetic. Renée-Marthe then pursued her artistic path with artist Pierre Jeanson and was part of the group of watercolour artists Aquarellistes du lundi for several years. A few “Coaching en Folie” workshops with the artist Arseno rounded off her training. With a father who is an architect and a mother who is a violinist, Renée-Marthe was immersed in the cultural and art scene right from the start; in fact, her father was her first drawing instructor! Thriving in this environment conducive to creativity, she has always loved enjoying new experiences and testing new art forms. For example, she participated in the Art au Parfum, a contest for which she had to draw inspiration from a perfume provided by the organizers to create an original work of art. This very formative exercise only confirmed her love for the arts and her constant search for originality. In addition to devoting time to her family, Renée-Marthe has divided her energy between her passion for art and her career in education. Trained in early childhood education, she taught pre‑school for a few years before becoming an internship supervisor in the Université de Sherbrooke’s Faculty of Education, a position she has held for 25 years. Her duties have included coordinating activities for Brin d’univers, the university’s pre‑school. While in this position, she returned to her studies, first in 1988 to complete a multidisciplinary certificate (which enabled her to dive into the latest research in education), followed by a visual arts certificate in 2001. A member of the Artistes du Parvis for the past three or four years, Renée-Marthe has long discreetly observed how the group functions. This year, she decided to jump into the action and she is now more involved, serving as Vice-President, much to the group’s delight. Both in her involvement with the Artistes du Parvis and her personal practice, Renée-Marthe hasn’t stopped letting her creativity flow; we hope she’ll continue to paint for many years to come! fleurimont Borough Services Renée-Marthe Royer 136 InfoSherbrookois | Winter 2015-2016 Borough Services Expected results • Once a year, enable residents from the same neighbourhood to meet each other in a festive setting that is conducive to socializing. This activity helps break isolation, reinforce a sense of belonging, and create connections between residents. • Become an anchor point (gathering place) for socialization and relaxation for residents, throughout the year. • Become a driving force for rallying the community, for both local organizations and residents. Serve as a reference group (channel of communication, collaboration, and exchanges) for the Ville (Borough). Borough parties have almost become a must-attend event, a tradition for each of the Borough’s neighbourhoods. InfoSherbrookois | Winter 2015-2016 fleurimont In 2010, the Borough council adopted a plan to adjust its actions in the Borough’s parks and green spaces. These parks and green spaces serve as neighbourhood gathering places and support community life. In 2012, the Ville de Sherbrooke adopted the master plan for parks, which recommended that a comprehensive plan be created for some of the Borough’s parks. In particular, it proposed moving some of the infrastructure, developing open areas (playing, relaxation, socializing), and reviewing spatial organization. The Borough council would like to bring all sectors of the Borough to life, particularly those that require increased support from the city and in which we must act as leaders to rally the community. To do so, the decision was made to organize neighbourhood celebrations, in collaboration with local organizations and residents. These neighbourhood parties had to be spread out across all sectors of the Borough, taking into account the parks identified in the master plan for parks (development potential) and the lack of activities in these areas. The target clientele is, above all, families, residents of the neighbourhood who live within a maximum radius of 800 metres from the park. Locations where neighbourhood parties will take place • Parc Charland: First weekend in February, approximately, 2 to 6 p.m. Yes, during winter! There will be inflatable games, sliding, street performers, fire pits to warm up, hot chocolate, ice trails, a skating rink, entertainment, and fireworks to end an afternoon of outdoor activities in style. • Parc Couturier: Second weekend in July, approximately, noon to 4 p.m. There will be inflatable games, snacks, face painting for children, a street performer, and entertainment. Great atmosphere forecast while the kids are on vacation. • Parc du Debonair: Third weekend in August, approximately, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. In 2015, there was a parade of dogs in costumes, inflatable games, snacks, face painting for children, a street performer, and entertainment. High spirits prevailed in this vacation period just before the back-to-school season. • Parc de Marie-Reine-du-Monde: Fourth weekend in August, approximately, noon to 4 p.m. There will be inflatable games, snacks, face painting for children, a street performer, and entertainment. What a way to celebrate going back to school. • Parc Édouard-Boudreau: Third weekend in September, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be inflatable games, face painting for children, a street performer, corn, grilled cheese sandwiches, entertainment, and singing. This will be a celebration of fall.
