Country singer lobbies for western festival Several members of council expressed interest in the possible tourism potential for the city. Administration noted that there are still too many details that would need to be worked out and also questions about how such an event would operate.

Rapport d’analyse de marché Le conseil municipal de Clarence-Rockland a approuvé la réception d’un rapport de consultant sur l’analyse du marché des terrains industriels. Le conseil a maintenant ordonné à l’administration de préparer une politique, avec l’aide d’un professionnel, pour assurer une quantité suffisante de terrains industriels municipaux disponibles dans la région de Clarence-Rockland pour le développement. – Gregg Chamberlain Ward 1 Coun. Jean-Marc Lalonde noted that the Wendover festival itself has a very strong, large, and committed group of vo- lunteers to support the event. a means of helping stimulate the village economies. Both the villages of Wendover and Alfred in Alfred-Plantagenet Township have run successfull Western Festivals for several years.
Is there a summer country-western music festival in Clarence-Rockland’s future? If Eric Sanscartier has his way, yessirree! But first he has to convince city council that this idea can sing. Sanscartier made a pitch to Clarence- Rockland council during the question period portion of its Nov. 7 committee of the whole session. He is a local country-western musi- cian, who performs under the stage name of Eric Michael Hawks, and has an album out. His proposal is to use Parc Simon and the adjoining Jean-Marc Lalonde Arena and parking lot area as the main site for a festi- val in mid-to late-July. The location would provide both, participants and spectators, with convenient washrooms and other sup- port facilities and also easy access to the downtown core for any shopping or other tourism-related activities.
There are also concerns about the suita- bility of Parc Simon as a site if there is bad weather as has happened during past years with Canada Day and the river festival events in Rockland. “We’ve not had a long enough time to look at all the options,” said Helen Collier, chief administrative officer. Council directed administration to conti- nue discussions with Sanscartier about his proposal and try to work out the details more for a later report at a future meeting. During a later point in the committee of the whole session, several councillors wondered if Bourget, Clarence Creek, or Cheney-Hammond might also serve as a location for a country-western festival as
Eric Sanscartier wants Clarence-Rockland to get in step and organize its own western festival like other communities in Eastern Ontario and Western Québec. City council is intrigued but wants more specific details first. —photo Gregg Chamberlain
