100 Years at your Service Inaugurated: August 2008 Dimensions: 350 sq feet Location: 395 Frontenac This mural commemorates the centennial of Sherbrooke’s municipalization of electrical power. On May 1, 1908, the City of Sherbrooke took possession of the Frontenac power plant and all assets of the Sherbrooke Power Light & Heat Co., sole power supplier of the time. The City created the Department of Gas and Electricity of the City of Sherbrooke. In 1963, this service was renamed Hydro-Sherbrooke. Nearly six years' worth of efforts and four referendums were required for public ownership of energy to become a reality. It is especially thanks to councilors Daniel McManamy and Donat Denault that this goal was reached. The two allies used any and all means available to convince the population of the validity of their argument. One hundred years later, Hydro-Sherbrooke is one of the city’s flagships and this power plant is the oldest operating in Quebec.
