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.

Heritage buildings are being valued throughout the Province of Québec

Here is a "potpourri" of recent announcements:


Permanent exhibition devoted to the built heritage of Deschambault-Grondines.
Heritage buildings and architectural detail photographs is a major player in the exhibition. An interactive medium, accessible through Internet, allows heritage homeowners to find the information needed to make the best choices possible when undertaking work.
Church of Grandes-Piles will become a cultural space
The Making of Grandes-Piles bequeathed to the municipality, in August, the church built in 1899. While religious celebrations are still held, a community hall will be built at the front of the building with a view to presenting concerts and plays, for example. In addition, the library will be located, according to plans, at the top of the church. The work is estimated at nearly $800,000.
