The Village Vitality Project in Low.In the second week of June, for two days, the students of St. Michael's School in Low turned an abandoned school building into an art exhibition.  Fourteen painted panels were hung over the boarded up windows of the building.  The Western Quebec School Board donated used paint, screws and plywood, the Municipality of Low donated $300, and the Low and District Lions' Club $150.
The project will be revived on a second wall next year.
