MONT-TREMBLANT, QUÉBEC - September 19, 5:oo p.m., is the launch of seven programs of “Our Community Connections“, a new offering by TVCL community television station, TVCL, which has informed the Laurentian community for some 18 years.
Viewers will meet individuals who have chosen the Laurentians as a central part of their lives, sharing some of the resources and activities of the English language community that help connect to the vibrant Laurentian life.
Series creator and hosts Nadine Cuccaro and Elaine St. Pierre, both retired to Mont-Tremblant from Ottawa, agree “It’s the best retirement ever,” including skiing, bicycling, book clubs, gourmet groups, academic courses, and so many interesting, vital friends in many villages of the Laurentians. Lots of those activities and more throughout the Laurentians will be discussed by two guests and a different co-host each week. Subjects for each program are:
- September 19: “Come from Away,” people who began their journey elsewhere and made the Laurentians an important part of their lives.
- October 3: UTA-English, academic courses for those over 50, sponsored by University of Sherbrooke.
- October 17: Culture of Sports, affinity groups who love sports, focusing on skiing, hockey and cycling.
- October 31: Cultural Events, such as the guest speakers at the Laurentian Club, events at Domaine St-Bernard and a new English language theater.
- November 14: International Outreach, many reach beyond the Laurentians to help the world and three will share their international experiences.
- November 28: Health Care and services offered in English will be explained and encouraged.
- December 12: Interview with the owner of a recent business offering books, refreshments and guest authors and the series wrap-up.
Each program will be aired several times during its week. Go to TVCL.ca for schedule or the Guide on your remote.
