Application for financial support for the 225th and 25th Anniversary Celebrations

Program Description

The Town of Sutton is currently planning festivities to mark, in 2027, the 225th anniversary of the allocation of lots in the Sutton area, as well as the 25th anniversary of the merger between the Town and the Township of Sutton.

To mark this occasion, the Department of Recreation, Community Life, and Culture (LVC), in collaboration with the Corporation de développement économique de Sutton (CDÉS), has been tasked with leading various initiatives:

  • A call for the public to identify Sutton's emblematic animal and plant (click here to read the news).
  • A call for artists and artisans from the directory to create works that will be used, notably for the 2027 municipal calendar, the production of banners, etc.
  • Adding activities to municipal events, including Winter Pleasures and the Fête nationale du Québec, as well as the 2027 Christmas Market.
  • The creation and sale of personalized promotional merchandise for the 225th and 25th Anniversary Celebrations.

In addition, the Town of Sutton is making $25,000 available to recognized organizations to support the programming offered to residents.

The Town wishes to offer a diverse range of activities for the community; therefore, the selection will be made to ensure that the activities complement one another.

The full program will be unveiled during Winter Pleasures in February 2027. Various communications will be made by the Town (mentions in the seasonal programs, news in the newsletter, Facebook posts, and content on the website), but collaboration with its network of partners will also be essential to promote the festivities.
