The Townships Sun, a magazine exploring life and culture in the region, has launched its legacy edition in honour of 50 years of publication in the Eastern Townships. 

The 50th anniversary legacy edition features stories and photographs of the past and present that highlight the evolution of the Townships Sun and “the community that it serves” over the last five decades, said Editor Rachel Garber.

As a part of the special edition, readers will find contributions from people involved in the early days of the magazine, including founding member Russell Pocock, and from those that have been consistently involved over the years. 

Marking the launch at the Uplands Cultural and Heritage Centre on March 19, Garber told CIDI that it was great to see how the Townships Sun brought people together again. 

Moving full steam ahead, the magazine is shifting its focus to bringing in new voices and straightening its ties to the community through collaborations and initiatives.
