Chemin des Cantons
At the Quebec-Vermont border, from the Sutton Mountains to Brome Lake, the Brome-Missisquoi regional municipal county offers magnificent panoramas of the surrounding mountains, forests, farmland, and waterways. Privileged cradle of Loyalists arriving from New England, the American and British influences remain in the region’s architecture. The Townships Trail takes you to Bromont, Lac-Brome (Knowlton), Sutton, Cowansville, Standbridge East, Frelighsburg and Bedford.
The Town is proud to announce that in July 2013, Sutton received the Municipalité amie des aînés (MADA) award in recognition of our efforts to make Sutton a senior-friendly town.
