Location… location… location… Southern Quebec (Sherbrooke)
Sherbrooke and the region is:
• The only fully bilingual territory in the Province of Quebec outside of Montreal, 90 minutes east of the Champlain Bridge (our airport being 2½ hours by car from the Trudeau Airport and 2½ hours south of Quebec City’s Jean Lesage Airport).
• Sherbrooke is located midway between Thetford Mines, St-
Georges, Victoriaville, Drummondville (15 000 industrial jobs), Granby, Magog/Orford (an international tourism centre), and the United States-Canada border.
A consensus-based definition
Sherbrooke at the confluence of
cultures Based on its history and its geography, the Ville de Sherbrooke
recognizes its immovable, movable, and intangible heritage as
the cultural heritage within the area under its jurisdiction.
The city’s cultural heritage is composed of personalities; historic
sites and events; heritage documents, property, items, and sites;
cultural heritage landscapes; expertise; the know-how to live
together in cultural and linguistic harmony; traditions; and
toponymy.
Recognizing this rich, creative heritage, the Ville is hoping to
inspire the public to take an interest in it by establishing the
community’s right and duty to protect and promote its cultural
heritage from a sustainable development perspective.
