Une histoire d’évolution et de résilience pour Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley
Since its beginning, the population of Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley has continued to evolve, despite the rural exodus of the early 20th century. In January 1930, a fire broke out in the village during Sunday Mass: the priest interrupted the service to mobilize the parishioners, who attempted to extinguish the flames using shovels and snow. In July 1946, a second fire destroyed the western part of the village, leaving around forty people homeless. Each time, the solidarity of the residents was exemplary: less than a year after the last disaster, the village had been completely rebuilt.
