Since last weekend, billboards with messages of fire prevention are installed in various areas of the City of Greater Sudbury.
These billboards are the result of a collaboration between the
Fire Services of the City of Greater Sudbury and the 2D/3D
Animation program at Collège Boréal.
The four billboards, installed along Lorne St. and Highway 69
S., were created by 16 students in first and second  year
of the 2D/3D Animation program.
Students worked on this project for eight weeks.
Four other billboards are in production and should be finished
by March 2007.
The professor in charge of the project, Luc Robert, is proud of
the results. "The team worked very hard to develop the
billboards within the time frame allowed, and they really
appreciated to work on a project that has a direct impact in
the community."
Last October, two students from the same program, Genevieve
Bruneau and Luc Houle, illustrated a colouring book that the
City of Greater Sudbury published in 10, 000 copies. This
project aims to show the kind of quality of life each child in
Greater Sudbury is entitled to.
"With project of this kind, Collège Boréal truly fulfills its
role as a community college," says college president Denis
Hubert in a news release.
