The public will be\ninvited to vote for the virtual cow that will grace the advertising campaign promoting\nthe circuit and the partnership on the broadcaster\u2019s platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UPDATE ON THE CIRCUIT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The 30-km circuit runs by businesses, farms and residences\nbetween Embrun and Casselman, and already features some 20 cows, mostly in\nSt-Albert and its immediate vicinity.
