Railways put Townships on the map - Sherbrooke Record

Railways put Townships on the map 22 July 2021 at 18 h 15 min Reading time: 30 s Special to The Record The Eastern Townships wasn’t an easy region to develop. Difficulties presented by the landscape made it a challenge to attract settlement. Early pioneers did their best to try and build roads, but hills, rocks and mud made that an ominous task. And the arrival of the snow in winter made travelling close to impossible. The region was left isolated. It wasn’t until railways were brought to the Townships that villages started to experience prosperity and growth. Railways quickly became famous in England and the United States, but Canada was slow to hop on the same train. By 1850, England boasted 6, 621 miles of track, the United States more than 9,000 miles, and Canada just 68. When prominent Townshippers stepped up to the plate, the region became a busy place.

Ayer s Cliff landscape architect pioneers solar energy industry

Ayer’s Cliff landscape architect pioneers solar energy industry 9 May 2021 Reading time: 1 min Special to The Record The use of solar heat as a source of renewable energy is not unheard of in Quebec and this is due to various pioneers in the industry dating back to the 1970s, including a man named Nick Nicholson from Ayer’s Cliff. After moving from Long Island to Ayer’s Cliff at the end of the 60s, Nicholson noticed that he had hot water in a shower that he had built outside his home, but this shower was not connected to a hot water heater. Rather, the pipe that brought water to his shower was aboveground and the sun was warming it. As a trained landscape architect, Nicholson quickly became interested in solar energy and his grassroots projects put Quebec and the Eastern Townships on the map for developing the use of solar energy in Canada.
