The Equity

Founded in 1883 by B.T. Smith and J.A. Cowen, THE EQUITY was originally located on Main Street in Bryson, Que. before moving to Shawville in the early 1900s. The office was then relocated to its present location at 133 Centre Street, Shawville, Quebec in the County of Pontiac, West Quebec.

The newspaper has always maintained "A fair representation through the columns of the press" as it was so stated in its first edition back on June 7, 1883.
