Lennoxville was first settled in 1819 . Its name is taken from Charles Lennox, Duke Of Richmond , who was then the Governor General Of Canada . The borough has two facilities for its youth population, one of them being religious. Not only do they provide recreational services, they also provide social services and support for the community's teenagers. Lennoxville is home to Alexander Galt Regional High School , Bishop's University , Champlain Regional College and Bishop's College School . At Bishop's University, frosh week is held on the first week of the fall semester. The event usually gets bad publicity from the non-student population of the community and even the provincial media as fires are often lit up around the borough and students cause a lot of noise. However, the new Principal of the University, Mr. Robert Poupart, has increased both security and punishments for such infractions which lead to less incidents in the fall of 2005. Students often play a role in the community, volunteering as big brothers and big sisters to area youth, working on community events and taking part time jobs at local businesses. Local services include multiple pubs and bars, fast food outlets, private eateries, a chain-owned grocery store, pharmacies, a gas station, a women's centre, a curling club, a nine-hole golf and country club and several churches. |
