[edit] Ethnic Background

The page does not break down by ethnic background. That is NATIONALITY background. Does anyone have real ethnic background to post? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.249.36.16 (talk)

  • Yes it, does. This is "Ethnic Origin" as described by Statistics Canada. What is it that you feel is missing? AshleyMorton 04:09, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History section

Could someone please add expanded information on the History of Sherbrooke, as has been done with Trois-Rivières and similar pages? --dragfyre 16:32, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


I'm taking care of it. (Currently writing... as free time allows. I'll put in online when it's complete.)
One of you will have to proof-read my text, though. (To correct my English, not my facts. ;-) )

Not a problem - there is a world full of proofreaders available on wikipedia ;) --dragfyre 14:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC)


In searching for a watercolour artist, S. Fisette, I came across the following 1940 paper, which provides some history of Sherbrooke http://www.umanitoba.ca/colleges/st_pauls/ccha/Back%20Issues/CCHA1939-40/Walsh.html

[edit] revision

Are there any objections of breaking up the "description" section into the following (in order) and expanding on them:

History, Geography, Demographic, Neighborhoods, Economy, Transportation, Education, Media, Sister cities, People from Sherbrooke, See also, notes, References, External links

Sounds good... although I would suggest that 'People from Sherbrooke' be changed to 'Notable Sherbrooke residents'. --dragfyre 15:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] People

In your "People from Sherbrooke" section, I can't believe you left out Mad. Justice Louise Arbour! Oh and as an anglo former resident of Hyatt's Mills, I could help with any translation/English grammar problems you might have. Esseh 22:21, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

... Oh and links to the Bishop's University and Sherbrooke Record web sites might be added to your links list. Just a thought... Esseh 22:23, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
