Les Amis du Patrimoine

edit

Since 1993, a committee called Les Amis du Patrimoine was organized in order to promote and organize cultural and artistic activities in the village. Some of these activities have funded, in part, the maintenance and renovation of the church. Further, Les Amis du Patrimoine have added, to their list of responsibilities, the opening of a small boutique called the "Tree House", and, have created a nature-path called the "Poetic Trail". Les Amis du Patrimoine in Saint-Venant-de-Paquette is a non-profit organization that depends mainly on the voluntary involvement of its citizens and from elsewhere.
