After finding each other, falling madly in love, getting married and supporting each other through the early years of their careers, owners Sylvia and Darren moved back to Beaumont for the birth of their daughter. With a growing family, they began to think about how they could contribute to life in Beaumont. This made them realize that they had come to a special point in their lives. A point where they can fuse their enduring dedication to their town, their entrepreneurial passion and their respective experience as a restaurant manager and marketing consultant to create a unique community space that connects people and celebrates local history.

The dream was to open Chartier: a rustic, Quebec French style brasserie in the heart of Beaumont. The concept is simple: great fresh food and drink in a relaxed environment.  

That dream came true in 2015, with the help of Kickstarter. Chartier is the first successful restaurant Kickstarter campaign in Alberta, and the most successful restaurant Kickstarter in Canada. Learn more about the humble beginnings of Chartier on Kickstarter.
