The Village of St. Brieux was settled by a group of people from
St. Malo, France in 1904. Under the guidance of Father Le Floch,
they made their way from France to Halifax to Prince Albert and finally
ended up at the present town site. At that point, they erected a
cross on the shores of Lake Lenore to honour another French explorer,
Jacque Cartier.
Today, the community of St. Brieux is rich in culture with many
local artists, craftsman and musicians. The community is home to
many activities such as trade fairs, sports days, golf and hockey
tournaments and a Bilingual Christmas Pageant.
The town of St. Brieux is probably most famous for the agricultural
manufacturer that is located there. Bourgault Industries is a world
renowned manufacturer of agricultural equipment, from rock pickers
to air seeders.
The company was founded by Frank Bourault in 1973, started out of
a small shop in town, building a cultivator that Frank had been testing
for a number of years. Since then, the company has expanded greatly
and has plants in nearby Naicam.
