Desjardins was a former regional county municipality in the Chaudière-Appalaches region of Quebec, Canada. It ceased to exist when most of it, along with most of Les Chutes-de-la-Chaudière Regional County Municipality, amalgamated into the expanded city of Lévis on January 1, 2002.
Desjardins RCM consisted of:
- Lévis (in its pre-amalgamation borders)
- Pintendre
- Saint-Henri
- Saint-Joseph-de-Lévy
When Desjardins RCM dissolved, Lévis, Pintendre and Saint-Joseph-de-Lévy amalgamated into the newly-expanded Lévis and comprised the Desjardins borough of that city; Saint-Henri remained independent and joined Bellechasse Regional County Municipality.
Famous quotes containing the word county:
“Hold hard, my county darlings, for a hawk descends,
Golden Glamorgan straightens, to the falling birds.
Your sport is summer as the spring runs angrily.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
