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.

Quotes

C’est un grand crime que de ne pas mettre une bibliothèque ordonnée à la portée de l’enfant qui aime lire. En cela plus qu’en n’importe quelle autre chose, le temps perdu ne se retrouve pas.


Claire Martin, La Joue droite



Four out of 10 adult Canadians, age 16 to 65 - representing 9 million Canadians - struggle with low literacy.
