Shawville, Outaouais. A few steps away from high school, printing and town hall, Union Jack is raised over a small white building. It is the headquarters of the Orange Lodge, a Protestant religious fraternal group that settled in the Pontiac in the late 19th century. In Quebec, there are only two active lodges: one in Kinnears Mills, in the Chaudière-Appalaches region, and this one, which since 1843 is some 80 km west of Gatineau.
