About the Village

The village is situated north of East-Hereford, south of St. Malo, and east of Coaticook.

The village employs only two part-time workers: the mayor and a secretary. The only service provided is waste management, and snow removal.

Most villagers do not have access to high-speed internet.

Most villagers have wells to provide water.

The nearest fire department is in Beecher Falls, Vermont.

The church has been turned into a museum.

Les Amis du Patrimoine

Since 1993, a committee called Les Amis du Patrimoine was organized in order to promote and organize cultural and artistic activities in the village. Some of these activities have funded, in part, the maintenance and renovation of the church. Further, Les Amis du Patrimoine have added, to their list of responsibilities, the opening of a small boutique called the "Tree House", and, have created a nature-path called the "Poetic Trail". Les Amis du Patrimoine in Saint-Venant-de-Paquette is a non-profit organization that depends mainly on the voluntary involvement of its citizens and from elsewhere.
