s part of our ongoing commitment to enrich our community, we have been researching the history of the Ste. Agathe Region. We have published much of this research in our newsletter, "The Doncaster Ballyhoo".

Our web site allows us to publish, for your enjoyment, a compilation of the articles we have written. We hope you enjoy this material as much as we enjoyed writing it. Be sure to check back here from time to time as we will be adding articles on a regular basis.
