A new name for the site… But one that is truly welcoming. And that is what our community is all about! The site is designed and planned locally…for all of us, but we also incorporated all kinds of information to provide historic info to all the non-residents and especially to all who have roots here… and live in other parts of the world. Many of our ancestors from south of Montreal moved to this area of SW Ontario in the early 1830’s That’s right! We celebrated our 150th in 2004! And through the years, many other folks chose Pain Court as their home. Many Northern European families came, especially after the two wars. Hard workers, ambitious people. Others came from New Brunswick and Quebec. In the last few years, we welcomed many new families from Chatham-Kent. We are a proud multilingual community, with still a strong francophone presence. People speak highly of our two well-respected and well- known schools with instruction “en français”. Agriculture is the foundation of Pain Court. Our farms produce a multitude of crops that feed our country and other parts of the world. Pain Court farmers were among the first Canadians to produce hybrid corn in 1938. And today, the rich lands of our community produce thousands of record-breaking crops of corn, soybeans, wheat, tomatoes, and many horticultural crops. And many of these crops on diked lands that lie below the water level of neighbouring Lake St. Clair. A fascinating story. Enjoy browsing the web site! Check often…as we will continue to present additional information.
