Incorporated in 1998 through the initiative of a group of Douglastown citizens, the Douglas Community Centre enabled the recovery and renovation of the village’s St. Patrick Central School (1956), a three-storey, 1,650-square-metre building. Since then, the Centre has continued to put down roots in its community, offering services and activities to the local population of some 650 inhabitants, almost equally divided between the French and English-speaking communities.
The Community Centre is a non-profit organization (NPO) incorporated under the terms of the Companies Act, Part III; its objectives, developed by the members, are articulated on three distinct levels:
Community development ;
Community development;
Corporate management.
Broadly speaking, they concern the social, economic and cultural promotion of the community, and cooperation between the two linguistic communities.
