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.

New Libraries in Saint-Hippolyte and in Nouvelle

Two recent news:
The recent Nouvelle library has 224 square meters of space. The Brownsburg-Chatham one, 138 square meters (for a population of 6,664 in 2006).

 Excerpt from the press release announcing the opening in Nouvelle:

The grant comes from the Québec government comes from the Plan québécois des infrastructures, announced in November 2007. Let us recall that the cultural component of this plan will enable the investment of 1.2 billion dollars through to 2013. Thanks to the participation of partners, it is expected to generate total investments valued at over $ 2 billion. These funds will enable the government to accommodate a larger number of projects under its current programs and to contribute more particularly, as the investment announced today, to city and regions throughout Québec.
Meanwhile, in Brownsburg-Chatham, we look at the parade.
