Maires, conseillers et autres officiers du canton d’Ascot, de la municipalité du canton d’Ascot et de la municipalité d’Ascot (1841–2001)
Abstract
The authors note that a close reading of the minutes of the Township of Ascot (Town of Sherbrooke, 1841– 1845), of the municipality of the Township of Ascot (1845–1847; 1858–1989), and of the municipalities of the Townships of Ascot and Westbury (1855–1858) allowed them to identify the names of all elected officials along with the exact dates of their respective mandates. However, they were unable to locate the minutes of the municipality of Sherbrooke County (1847– 1855). The purpose of their project was to identify any names that might have been omitted by the members of Sherbrooke’s Toponymy Committee. The authors were able to note that only five of the 39 mayors were selected by the committee, along with 3 of the 16 secretary-treasurers, 3 of the 92 township officers (playing various roles in the 1841–1845 period), 8 of the 130 councillors and none of the 16 school commissioners (for the 1842–1845 period).
