How to participate ?
At each stop, locate the metal seal on site. Place your collection card over the seal and use a pencil to do a rubbing in the stop's designated box to reveal the pattern. Each stamp collected gives you an additional entry into the prize drawing. Don't hesitate to explore multiple locations to increase your chances. And after?
Once your collection is complete (or at any point during your adventure), take a photo of it and send it by email to [email protected] or via Messenger through our Facebook page.
To see the complete rubbing technique, consult the detailed guide (French only) or watch this video.
Each stop will allow you to discover the inspiring story of a foundress who contributed to the development of the Eastern Townships. Happy exploring!
