This site would include Leggatt&rsquo;s Point Presbyterian Church, Leggatt&rsquo;s Point Manse, Leggatt&rsquo;s Point Cemetery, and Leggatt&rsquo;s Point Archaeological Site. We have petitioned the Municipality of Grand-M\u00e9tis to take official measures to protect and preserve this important heritage site.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the request of the Municipality of Grand-M\u00e9tis, Heritage Lower St. Lawrence will host information and consultation sessions open to the public on<strong> Wednesday, June 15, 2022<\/strong> and <strong>Saturday, July 16, 2022<\/strong> from <strong>7 pm to 9 pm<\/strong> and on <strong>Wednesday, August 10, 2022<\/strong> from<strong> 2 pm. to 4 pm<\/strong> The consultations will take place at Leggatt&rsquo;s Point Presbyterian Church.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We look forward to seeing you there!<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The citation process is important because it is a tool that only municipalities have, allowing them to recognize the heritage on their territory and to control restoration and renovation work. To our knowledge, apart from the Villa Estevan and the Jardins de M\u00e9tis, which were both classified by the Quebec government in 2013, no other building in Grand-M\u00e9tis has a protected status. This will be a first for Grand-M\u00e9tis and a source of pride for its citizens.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leggatt&rsquo;s Point Presbyterian Church is probably the best documented building in Grand-M\u00e9tis, M\u00e9tis-sur-Mer, and La Mitis. It is the subject of J.S.S. Armour and Anson McKim&rsquo;s book, \u201cSCOTCH SETTLERS DWELLING THERE ALONE&rsquo; a History of the Presbyterian Churches at Metis, Quebec 1844-1884\u201d, (winner of the Presbyterian Church of Canada award in 2019). The authors documented the work done by Reverend Thomas Fenwick to build a church at Leggatt\u2019s Point. At the time, the site was at the heart of the M\u00e9tis Scots community and the centre of the Mitis seigneury, which stretched from the Mitis River to Baie-des-Sables. Built by Peter F. Leggatt (from whom Pointe-Leggatt and Pointe-Leggatt Road derive their presence in the toponymy of the municipality), the church was first opened in July 1884. In 2024, the church will be 140 years old. The church was the site of many events, celebrations, weddings, baptisms and funeral services.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inventory made by the historian and neighbour of the church, Mr. Gilbert Boss\u00e9, offers details on all the activities of the Presbyterian church in this sector. Fenwick, in addition to being a missionary for the Presbyterian Church, was also an artist and author. He was also the architect of the church. He therefore left a very important legacy that bears witness to the history of the place and documents its evolution. His work as an artist was important for archaeologists from the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Rimouski, Nicolas Beaudry and Manon Savard, who conducted an excavation of the first presbytery in the summer of 2019.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enclosing the only church in Grand-M\u00e9tis, Leggatt&rsquo;s Point is a very important heritage site. It is at the very heart of the municipality&rsquo;s history and is a proud witness to this founding municipality of La Mitis. In a single lot of a few hundred square meters, we have a historic church, a presbytery, the cemetery of the first Scottish settlers in the region and an inventoried archaeological site.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The site also includes several metres of well-protected shoreline accessible by marked footpaths. The geology of this area is remarkable, as are the viewpoints, allowing us to see Anse-des-Morts Bay, the Grand-M\u00e9tis coastline, Mont-Comi, the Maurice Lamontagne Institute and the tip of the Pointe Mitis lighthouse. It is likely that further excavations will reveal the presence of Aboriginal peoples. Well maintained by the congregation for decades, the site is unique and remarkable.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For these reasons, Heritage Lower St. Lawrence actively supports the request for citation and we invite the municipality of Grand-M\u00e9tis to proceed with the citation by voting in favour of the draft citation by-law adopted on May 5th, 2022 in council.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Alexander Reford, CM <\/b>Historian &amp; President of Heritage Lower St. Lawrence Board of Directors<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Philippe Dufort, PhD <\/b>Executive Director of Heritage Lower St. Lawrence<\/p><div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Leggatts-Point-Church-and-manse-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- \/wp:post-content --><!-- wp:columns --><div class=\"wp-block-columns\"><!-- wp:column {\"width\":\"25%\"} --><div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div><!-- \/wp:column --><!-- wp:column {\"width\":\"75%\"} --><div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\"><div id=\"francais\"><\/div><!-- wp:separator --><hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/><!-- \/wp:separator --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":1} --><h1><b>Consultations publiques pour la protection patrimoniale du site de Pointe-Leggatt<\/b><\/h1><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --><p>Heritage Lower St. Lawrence (HLSL) prend ces jours-ci un r\u00f4le de pr\u00e9curseur en enclenchant un processus de citation du site de la Pointe-Leggatt, qui inclut l\u2019\u00e9glise presbyt\u00e9rienne de la Pointe-Leggatt, le presbyt\u00e8re de la Pointe-Leggatt, le cimeti\u00e8re de la Pointe-Leggatt et le site arch\u00e9ologique de la Pointe-Leggatt.

En 2024, l\u2019\u00e9glise aura donc 140 ans. L\u2019\u00e9glise fut le site de moult \u00e9v\u00e9nements, c\u00e9l\u00e9brations, mariages, bapt\u00eames et services fun\u00e9raires.<\/p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><p>L\u2019inventaire fait par l\u2019historien et voisin de l\u2019\u00e9glise, monsieur Gilbert Boss\u00e9, d\u00e9taille l\u2019ensemble des activit\u00e9s de l\u2019\u00e9glise presbyt\u00e9rienne dans ce secteur.

We have petitioned the Municipality of Grand-M\u00e9tis to take official measures to protect and preserve this important heritage site.","og_url":"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/public-consultations-for-the-heritage-protection-of-leggatts-point-site\/","og_site_name":"Heritage Lower Saint Lawrence","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/heritagelsl","article_published_time":"2022-05-25T16:05:12+00:00","article_modified_time":"2026-09-25T15:14:43+00:00","og_image":[{"width":512,"height":314,"url":"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Leggatts-Point-Church-and-manse.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"v4lpr0v0st","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"\u00c9crit par":"v4lpr0v0st","Dur\u00e9e de lecture estim\u00e9e":"7 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/public-consultations-for-the-heritage-protection-of-leggatts-point-site\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/public-consultations-for-the-heritage-protection-of-leggatts-point-site\/"},"author":{"name":"v4lpr0v0st","@id":"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/a1a327f454e779ece5e834a6f767a8e1"},"headline":"Public Consultations for the Heritage Protection of Leggatt\u2019s Point Site","datePublished":"2022-05-25T16:05:12+00:00","dateModified":"2026-09-25T15:14:43+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/public-consultations-for-the-heritage-protection-of-leggatts-point-site\/"},"wordCount":1465,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/public-consultations-for-the-heritage-protection-of-leggatts-point-site\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Leggatts-Point-Church-and-manse.jpg","articleSection":["General"],"inLanguage":"fr-FR"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/public-consultations-for-the-heritage-protection-of-leggatts-point-site\/","url":"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/public-consultations-for-the-heritage-protection-of-leggatts-point-site\/","name":"Public Consultations for the Heritage Protection of Leggatt\u2019s Point Site -
