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.

Architectural Heritage in Saint-Jérôme

From the Web site of the City of Saint-Jérôme (in French), the presentation of a heritage guide detailing architectural influences at different times. Document to consult for anyone interested in heritage:
Discover the guide "Saint-Jérôme and Its Architecture" (in French)

Saint-Jérôme holds a wealth of architecture

St. Jerome is a city that has grown and evolved since it was founded nearly 200 years ago. The architectural landscape of the city has changed, obliterating the same time, several witnesses from the past, but we still find today many architectural treasures.

In the brochure "Saint-Jérôme and architecture guide-discovery and enhancement of built heritage" (in French), Saint-Jérôme discover and learn how to recognize the heritage buildings.

A tool for owners

This guide will be especially useful to support owners in their efforts to renovate and enhance heritage buildings while respecting the architectural qualities. Funding could even be available.

The document follows the study and inventory of built heritage of Saint-Jérôme which were made some years ago by the City and which have identified the buildings deserve special attention.
The guide was published with the contribution of the Ministry of Culture, Communications and Status of Women.
