Charny, Quebec

From Freepedia

Charny is a settlement in central Quebec, Canada, south of Quebec City. It is located on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River. The City of Charny was merged with Lévis on January 1 2002.

Over the last century, Charny has been tremendously influenced socially and economically by the Canadian National Railway which maintains a major national train yard in the town, Joffre Yard.

Charny expanded in population during the late 1980s early 1990s when new neighbourhoods were surveyed and houses were built.

Charney has reached regional exposure many times over the last twenty years struggling with Alex Couture Inc., a plant who buys dead animal corpses in order to recycle them, producing sellable by-products. The plant generates bad smell and odours throughout the city.
