Information about Lennoxville, Quebec
Lennoxville, population 4,963 (2001), is a borough (Fr. arrondissement) of the City of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. It was originally a town, but was amalgamated into the larger city of Sherbrooke in 2002. Located on the Massawippi, Saint-François River and Ascot Rivers, Lennoxville is a primarily English-speaking community, located in the heart of the Eastern Townships. The community has long been known as the centre of English language education in the area, though it is considered to be one of the most bilingual communities in Quebec (with anglophones comprising 66% of the population and francophones representing 34%) and is widely regarded as an all-season resort area. Downtown Sherbrooke is 5 kilometres away.
Lennoxville was first settled in 1819. Its name is taken from Charles Lennox, Duke of Richmond, who was then the Governor General of Canada.
Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War, lived in Lennoxville after being imprisoned for treason following the war.[1]
Lennoxville is home to Alexander Galt Regional High School, Bishop's University, Champlain Regional College and Bishop's College School. Students compose approximately half the borough's population.
At Bishop's University, frosh week is held on the first week of the fall semester. In previous years the University has received bad publicity from both the local and national media. However, due to the diligent efforts of both the admistration of Bishop's University, as well as the Student Representative Council and student body, this stigma is beginning to turn around. In 2005 Bishop's University received an award for running one of the most successful orientation weeks in the country. Again in 2006 Bishop's continued to improve on this, having no major incidents during orientation week.
Students often play a role in the community, volunteering as Big Brothers and Big Sisters to area youth, Habitat for Humanity, Best Buddies, working on community events and taking part-time jobs at local businesses.
Local services include multiple pubs and bars, fast food outlets, private eateries, a chain-owned grocery store, pharmacies, a gas station, a women's centre, a curling club, a nine-hole golf and country club, ACE Bishop's, several churches, and two youth centres.
