We Deserve Better Coalition: Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines' Example

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.

Luc Bélisle, Hélène Boivin, Michel Brisson, Jean Careau, Gilles Desforges, Cynthia Dubé, Anik Ferland, Pierre Gagnon, François Jobin, Sophie LaRoche, Diane Leduc, Mylène Mondou, Gilbert Poupart, Maurice Rochon, Claire Thivierge, Kathleen Wilson.

The Library numbers:

The collection is comprised of more than 50,000 documents, is extensive and varied: stories, novels, biographies, science, fine arts, genealogy, magazines are all available resources.
Each year the staff loans about 86,000 documents, which illustratres the satisfaction of the population which is 13,400 residents.
Since its opening in 1980, the Library has received approximately $400,000 in grants from the Ministry of Culture and Communications and the City has spent over $2,000,000.
