The Story of Angus

Angus, the Book

Angus, un roman social et économique was just released in bookstores. After telling the story of the industrial past of the Angus Shops, author Gaétan Nadeau tackles a new era - that of the social economy. The story spans three decades (1992-2020). For the women and men of Angus, whose daily lives are described in the story, this has been the adventure of a lifetime.

A Story of Resiliency

The SDA’s story is truly extraordinary. It was born of a desire to seek social justice and was driven by courageous, at times unmethodical, but often visionary characters. This second installment covers Angus’ contemporary saga: the heady challenges it faced, its remarkable achievements, and also some rough patches along the way.

A Modern Quest

Readers are thrust into a modern quest in which unsung heroes attempt to re-inject beauty and pride into their city.
