On June 9 the photography of Adrienne Herron, of Chelsea, was showcased at the Ottawa Art Gallery Gala Auction.   Adrienne Herron’s photography focuses particularly on woodlands.   She has taught photography and created the “Image Bank” of the Gatineau Valley Historical Society, whose events are covered by this Bulletin.

On June 10, Chelsea Elementary School held its annual International Day.  Over a dozen classes participated, creating displays about a wide range of countries.   Principal Sandra Burgess remarked, “The children’s learning is extended to the global world, which is a part of what the Quebec education system advocates.”
