The first Bahá'í Youth Week to be held in Canada took place at the Laurentian Bahá'í Farm. Some Bahá’ís in Quebec offered this country property to the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Canada for the purposes of having seasonal study groups and retreats in a quiet and natural setting. The property included a large farmhouse and a converted barn where courses were held in summer. There were also a few outlying cottages on several acres of rolling land, partially wooded and with a few open areas where some participants could pitch their tents. Individuals with expertise or knowledge on aspects of the Bahá’í Faith and related topics such as Biblical prophecies, and historical and social issues, were invited to this seasonal school. This property was later know as Beaulac Bahá'í and functioned as such from 1968 to 1972. [A Light in All Our Lives p81 by Suzanne Maloney.]
Rosemary Sala gave the lessons and presided over the discussions. Study subjects were: “This Earth One Country”, “The Oneness of Mankind and the Abolition of Race Prejudice”, and “The Oneness of Religion”. Recreational activities included swimming in the Bureau River, horseback riding, helping resident Bill Suter putting up hay, and a campfire picnic. [BW11 p 404] |
