For the Rues Principales project, as of the beginning of May, we have: Distributed information concerning the flowering contest for businesses on the main roads of Brome Lake. Distributed pamphlets on the progress report summary in a variety of businesses in the whole of Brome Lake. Prepared surveys for business owners, employees and tourists, which the committee is now working on. Gathered data on where the clientele of various businesses comes from during a typical, low season week. Compiled data on all the businesses in the area Gathered statistical data on how much is spent in one year on various items, such as food and clothing. The committee for this project had a meeting on: April 21, 2008 to review certain changes to the various surveys April 3, 2008 to discuss the survey for residents as well as the next public assembly which will be an image session, where a power point presentation of the region will be presented.
