Will celebrate tercentenary in 2013<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Claude Arsenault welcomed city council\u2019s decision, Dec. 3, to designate parts of Pointe Claire Village<\/a> as a historic site.<\/p>\n

The president of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 pour la Sauvegarde du Patrimoine de Pointe-Claire<\/a> said that the city will hold an information meeting at 7:30 p.m., Jan. 23, and urged as many citizens as possible to attend the gathering in order to support the proposal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to ensure that this site is well-preserved for generations to come,\u201d he enthused, \u201cso we can showcase how the village evolved over the course of three centuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe windmill was built in 1709 and, after that the first church\u2014which was very important in that era,\u201d he told The Suburban<\/i> in an interview. \u201cNext came the fort, followed by the first houses around the fort.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arsenault explained that the windmill, the church, the presbytery and the convent will be designated historic sites, as will the adjacent elementary school. He added that over the years more than 5,000 people were buried in the church cemetery, which was relocated in 1948.<\/p>\n

300th Anniversary <\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nThe Pointe Claire heritage society is run entirely by dedicated volunteers. They plan to mark the village\u2019s 300th birthday next year and have been raising funds to publish a definitive history of the city entitled Pointe Claire 1713-2013<\/i> in time to coincide with the tercentennial.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far we have invested more than 16,000 hours of research preparing the book,\u201d Arsenault said. \u201cIt\u2019s a very serious undertaking involving historians H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Lamarche and Luc Lepine, as well as many other contributors.\u201d<\/p>\n

A lifelong Pointe Claire resident, the former cabinetmaker founded the heritage society twelve years ago and has worked full-time for the past five years to advance the organization\u2019s objectives of preserving and communicating the city\u2019s rich history.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe needed a vision for how to protect and highlight a truly fine example of our country\u2019s history,\u201d Arsenault concluded.<\/p>\n
