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:
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
