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.

2011 Budget

The budget adopted by the board this Tuesday, December 21, 2011 allocates $10,000 to purchase books, a spending item that had been cut for 2010. It should be noted that the 2009 budget was $12 133 for that item and the standard referred to in Québec is $ 24 377.


A budget of 2.6 million has also been planned to build a new library in 2013, should the project be received by the Ministry of Culture, Communications and the Status of Women. The board said it was aware it had to apply as soon as possible.

Furthermore, the population was informed of a tax increase of over 20% for the year 2011.
