    • A free picture of the skyline (or any other picture that identifies Brossard) needs to be taken/found.
    • What is the Enlgish meaning of "Si Je Puis Oultre", Brossard's Old French motto? There are conflicting sources.

    The new logo (four white "b"'s at a slant on a green background)
    The coat of arms

    [edit] General Talk

    the calculations for the chinese population is wrong...if chinese form 19.7% of the total population of 65 000...then the number of chinese should be 12 805 and not 11 375 ? and you should describe that Brassard has a mini chinatown, which consist of 2 centres(according to what i see..because i'm from Montreal).

    [edit] Content

    There needs to be more info on the history of Brossard, Quebec. Jsmaster24 23:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

    At this point, the transportation section is pretty thorough compared to the rest of the article, right? Is point format the ideal form for this type of information? Jsmaster24 02:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

    The point format makes the section look choppy and overly long. Can we edit some of this info into a couple of paragraphs, perhaps leaving out some of the less significant information. I would volunteer to do this myself if no one else wants to, but I am less familiar with some of these roads (I have family in Brossard but I live in MTL). Sbacle 17:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
    OK, sounds like a good idea; some of those roads may not be necessary to be included. I can help out too. Jsmaster24 18:18, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

    There should be a mini article of Quartier DIX30 somewhere here, which links to the main article of the shopping center. Webman25 16:29, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Longueuil logo.png

    Image:Longueuil logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

    Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

    If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
