Name change for Grenville-sur-la Rouge?
In 2014, the new council and the adminis- trators decided that it would be bene"cial for the municipality to focus on promoting the natural assets and beauty of the region through a revived and more upbeat brand image. Dropping the Grenville name would also help forge a new identi"cation and truly separate the municipality from the Vil- lage of Grenville. “In our opinion, the Red River is the top tourism and recreation attraction in the region and we just completed a public consultation on the vocation of the Rouge corridor,” added Jean-François Bertrand. “The municipality wants to review and mo- dernize its image and it is essential to exa- mine the subject of the name before doing anything.” The municipality would like to exploit the new name to its advantage and groom its economical development and promotion around it in 2015.

GRENVILLE-SUR-LA-ROUGE | At its Decem- ber 9 Grenville-sur-la-Rouge municipal meeting, council announced that it will go forward with the procedure to o!cially change the name of the town to Munici- palité de la Rouge. «A request for the name change will be sent to the Minister of Municipal A!airs and Land Occupancy”, said general director and secretary treasurer, Jean-François Bertrand. “Right now, we’re not changing the name per se, but only proposing a name change to the Commission de toponymie, which will examine the case.

We’re opening the pro- cess and will see from there.”
