ARTIST'S WORD: As a citizen of Chambly and a painter for over 50 years, I was drawn to the POSA Source-des-monts organization and the Maison Stéphane Fallu. The project is expanding to offer young women the Sandra Bolduc Pavilion. This is a project I want to contribute to. Miss Rey is encouraging me, through my paintings, to participate in the decoration of the Pavilion.

On September 26, 27 and 28, several free activities are planned to celebrate Culture Days! Among our activities:
FAY -> September 26, candle casting demonstrations.
Making a Natural Soy Wax Candle As part of the Journées de la culture (Culture Days), I invite you to attend an interactive demonstration on the artisanal manufacture of candles based on 100% natural soy wax. During this activity, I will show you the different steps to create an eco-responsible candle, from melting the wax to pouring it into a container. You will discover the particularities of soy wax—a plant-based, biodegradable, and toxin-free alternative—as well as the choice of wicks, cotton or wood, depending on the desired combustion type. I will also explain how to personalize your candle with essential oils or natural dyes (optional), while sharing tips for optimal and safe combustion. This demonstration is ideal for anyone curious to learn more about natural candles and eager to try a creative, simple, and environmentally friendly activity. Come discover the pleasure of creating a warm atmosphere… one flame at a time!
MICHELLE DOZOIS -> September 27 & 28, jewelry making demonstrations.
Minerals, from prehistory to the present day. A display of fossilized stones, ammonites, and arrowheads hand-carved by First Nations peoples. Documentation and jewelry-making demonstrations.
Michelle plans to bring her drum along to play and sing along a little. She might even bind and read a few copies of the remaining pages of her little art booklet about The Legend of Kitché Manitou, a legend she wrote, published, recorded, and performed in 2008.
