Discovering the convent complex of the Sisters of Saint Anne, a place of educational tradition

In 1850, a small community of teaching nuns was born in Vaudreuil. The founder's dream: to make school accessible to rural children, girls and boys. In the early 1860s, the community moved to the edge of the Lachine Canal to work towards their founder's dream. Over the years, it will grow with the founding of several schools, both in Quebec and Canada and around the world.
