OUR STORY

Incorporated in 1998, with the initiative of a group of Douglastown’s citizens, the Douglas community center provided a purpose for and a reason for renovation of the village school. St. Patrick Central School, built in 1956 and closed in 1993, is a three-story building, with 1650 square meters, located in the village’s core.  The Center has rooted itself in the community milieu offering services and activities to the local population composed of Francophone and Anglophone communities almost equal in number. Come meet us to discover the place, an activity or to share your ideas.
