Musee Vankleek Hill Museum

The theme is HOPE/ESPOIR for the 2022 celebration of the 225^th anniversary of the founding of the Vankleek Hill community.

Denis Seguin, a Vankleek Hill Historical Society director, explained the theme of Hope / Espoir, “We are exiting the pandemic in a disciplined manner, with hope for how we rebuild and move forward. Here we are, 225 years later, and hope is what unites us in building bridges to new understandings of what represents our community.”

After community meetings held from October 2021 to May 2022, local organizations & businesses are holding their events as the part of the 225 celebration in 2022, and they adopted the Hope 225 Logo created by Reagan Hall.

225 LOGO COMPETITION: WON BY REAGAN HALL!

The logo included the word “hope” / “l’espoir,” the number 225, and is identifiable as Vankleek Hill.
