General note
Campbell's Bay, Quebec is on the traditional, unceded territory of the Anishinaabeg Algonquin people. In 1967, the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Pembroke, Ontario were requested by Monsignor Barry to undertake administration and staffing of St. Joseph’s Manor, a home to be built for senior citizens, in Campbell’s Bay. The government of Quebec had plans for two homes, one to serve the English and the other for French speaking boarders. St. Joseph’s Manor was for English speaking boarders. On August 24, 1968, the Pembroke Sisters arrived to take up residence at the nearly completed convent in the manor. The official opening was on October 27, 1968, and all rooms were occupied with 37 guests. On October 30, 1969, a Ladies Auxiliary was formed with the Sisters as members, holding monthly meetings to organize religious, social and cultural activities. The Sisters administered and partially staffed the manor for 14 years. The convent in Campbell’s Bay closed on April 12, 1982. The manor continues as the Friends of St. Joseph’s Manor (Les amis du Manoir St-Joseph), a not-for-profit private retirement home for senior citizens.
