In order to make its plural reality visible, valued and recognised, Sherbrooke collaborated with the Humans of Sherbrooke collective to initiate the inspiring project "The thousand faces of Sherbrooke" (Sherbrooke aux mille visages – French only) with the aim to open up to differences and to get to know each other better as a community, without judgment. The city wishes to offer its residents the possibility of affirming their belonging to a community that shares the same living space: whatever their origins, nationalities, religions or languages spoken, the city's residents have that in common: they belong to Sherbrooke. This project goes out to meet Sherbrooke residents and collects their testimonies in order to share a piece of their history (origins, nationality, religion or language spoken, etc.) and share their journeys. So far, 21 portraits/stories of residents representing the city's diversity are available on the project website (good practice drafted in November 2021).
