The Ordre du mérite de Brossard was held on April 13, during which three recipients were honoured.
Yesterday evening, at the Alphonse-Lepage sociocultural center, the prestigious Ordre du mérite de Brossard ceremony was held, during which three new Brossard laureates were honored. The evening recognizes citizens who have distinguished themselves in an exceptional way in their field of expertise, by awarding them the highest distinction the city bestows on citizens: the Ordre du mérite de Brossard medal.
