The Name

In 1895, when Beaumont was nothing more than a small French colony, Father Morin travelled to Ottawa to petition for a post office. With this petition, he presented a list of suggested names to give to the community. These were 'Beaumont,' 'Bellevue,' and 'Chartier.' Beaumont was selected by Jean Royer for the town and Bellevue was later used for our elementary school, but Chartier remained unused... Until now.
