About Us

We are a non-partisan coalition of citizens of Brownsburg-Chatham, who have at heart the fate of our library and our architectural heritage. We believe that the library should be relocated to a bigger house, better equipped and be endowed with sufficient human resources to meet the needs of the population. The Roussell house (Principale/des Érables) is one of the last heritage building of interest to be located downtown.

The coalition has acknowledged the lack of support among the population for the relocalisation of the library in the Russell house. We now consider them as two separate files.

Les Arts et la Ville

A non-profit organization founded in 1987, Les Arts et la Ville reunites municipal and cultural organisations to promote, support and defend the cultural and artistic development of municipalities.

With its 488 municipalities and 170 cultural organizations as members, the network currently has more than 2 000 people - elected and municipal officials, artists and cultural workers - concerned by the local cultural development.

The organisation has developed a tool for municipal interverners: La valise culturelle de l'élu municipal.

La valise culturelle de l'élu municipal aims to assist the elected officials responsible for cultural issues in the exercise of their functions. Who are the main stakeholders in the cultural system and what is the role of the municipality in terms of culture? What planning tools and management features does it have to intervene in this sector? What are the financial programs available? 

Of interest: the Argenteuil MRC is a member of the network.

Also, no need to be a big city to join. Here is the list of municipalities in Quebec of 10,000 or less population who are members (Statistics Canada 2006):
