While organizers are working on the lineup, this year’s annual music festi- val in Vankleek Hill is getting a name change. Richard Charest, representing the group involved in the Vankleek Hill Jamboree issued an email notice that the popular local music festival has a new name. The jamboree committee gave official approval to renaming the summer event as the Champlain Charity Jamboree. Charest noted that the committee has been considering a new name for the music festival that better reflects both its purpose and its growing wide appeal to music fans of all ages and backgrounds within the Champlain Township area and beyond. The 2025 Champlain Charity Jamboree will take place as always in the parking lot BSFBCFIJOEUIF8JOETPS5BWFSOPO.BJO Street in Vankleek Hill. This year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, July 5. The jamboree committee is partnering with the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital Foundation (HGH) on promotion for the event and all proceeds, after expenses, from this year’s music festival will go towards purchase of state-of-the-art medical equip- ment for the HGH emergency department. Scotiabank is one of the major sponsors through its local branch of this year’s jam- boree and will match up to $3000 of the proceeds from the music festival through
