This past weekend was the Stoker Arts Festival!

Since 1991, BCS has held the Stoker Arts Festival each spring to promote the arts and local artists from the Eastern Townships to our school community. Students get the opportunity to attend an art workshop in the morning and enjoy an afternoon of live performances by musicians from the area. The festival is proudly sponsored by the Stoker family, of Bram Stoker fame, in honour of Shirley H. Stoker, KHC'46.
