A property developer responded to a call for help from overseas students who had come to Granby for refresher nursing training.
When the students from Africa arrived, they had great difficulty finding affordable accommodation.
Alexandre Bouchard recently acquired the Saint-Eugène church. He agreed to rent them the rooms of the presbytery at a good price.
The 31-year-old owns nearly a hundred doors in downtown Granby.
It was only natural for him when the Reception and Integration Service asked him to host the twenty students from African countries when he had just acquired the Church, that he accepted. St. Eugene.
The presbytery has 11 bedrooms on the upper floor and three apartments on the ground floor.
