En 2025, l’Organisation de la communauté anglophone de Lanaudière (OCAL) de Rawdon et la Société de développement culturel et touristique de Mascouche (SODAM) ont produit un parcours patrimonial qui retrace l’histoire du village de Rawdon.

The tour takes visitors through two hundred years of Rawdon’s multicultural history. This guided tour can be taken on foot through the streets of the village, using the website, which is accessible on smartphones.  

This QR code provides access to the heritage tour:

Contributors to this tour include Diane Kyte (ECOL), France Pontbriand (Société d’histoire de Rawdon), Beverly Blagrave Prud’homme and the many volunteers who worked on its production and enriched it with their memories, ideas and anecdotes.

This tour is the brainchild of Sue-Ellen Jones and is dedicated to her memory.
