Most people think about The Photo Art Book as an opportunity to be present in a prestigious book and take all advantages to be present themselves. I was very surprise when Gilles Arbour from Premiumbeat contacted me to tell me what he did.

He recently started a fundraising for the nature center of Mont St-Hilaire, and wanted to offer a page to honored Kees Vanderheyden. After few minutes over the phone, I realize the impact of this person on the community and I am very excited to have the opportunity to take his picture for the book.



Kees Vanderheyden is a great citizen of the world. He writes and speaks French, English and Dutch. Residing in Mont St-Hilaire, it is involved not only in his community where he has been alternately Chairman of Committees of parents, citizens and various boards, but also in world-class events.
Head of Planning and Development on Radio-Quebec for twenty-five years, Kees Vanderheyden has been called to serve on the executive committee of the Agency for Tele-Education in Canada, the World Alliance of Television for Children and Board INPUT International International.
Expert at the World Summit on Television and Children in Melbourne in 1995, president and board member at the Prix Italia and active member of the International Youth Award in Munich for eight years, Kees Vanderheyden is also director of the Centre for Conservation at Mount St-Hilaire.



We walk up to the top of the mountain but the best place to do the photoshot is that beautiful and secret spot. We will be back on June 8th for the final picture.

Homage to Kees Vanderheyden
