After the unfortunate passing of long-time editor Barbara Heath in early September, The Townships Sun magazine has announced its new editor, Rachel Garber.
“We are happy to welcome Rachel to the Townships Sun team, and we look forward to growing the magazine together,” said David Wright, the president of the board.
“My passions are writing, photography and art,” said Garber. “And I love living in the Townships. It’s a match made in heaven to work on The Townships Sun. I’m really happy to have landed here.”
Garber has lived the Eastern Townships for the past 25 years, specifically in the erstwhile hamlet of Maple Leaf, in the Haut-Saint-François MRC. She has written for a number of publications, including The Townships Sun, The Record and the Journal Le-Haut-Saint-François, where she has a regular column. She previously lived for 22 years in Montreal, and before that, in Ontario, Ohio, Virginia, Philadelphia, Somalia, and Toronto.
