The Friends of Chats Falls invites you to the Quyon Community Centre on Friday, December 5, 2025, from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. . This event will showcase the results of our Archéo-Pontiac project’s public archaeological digs from September at Quyon’s municipal park. Learn about recent discoveries and their significance for our shared heritage. At the same time, we are looking for old photographs of the former Quyon Agricultural Fair site. These images are invaluable for enriching historical and archaeological research. Attendees are encouraged to bring their photos, which will be digitized on-site.
This gathering is a unique opportunity to help preserve local heritage, engage with the Archéo-Pontiac team, and contribute to the transmission of our community’s history.
