New in 2022
Exhibition "Villages de compagnies"
A new exhibition spotlighting company towns will be on display at the Mill. It shows how some companies in this country went about planning communities that became truly cutting-edge model towns! Visitors will discover how big companies were able to create living environments that were the dream of their employees and their families.

This project has been made possible by the Government of Canada.
