Assignment
The Perron Old Cheese Factory Museum's mission is to preserve its heritage and to keep alive the regional agri-food history and identity.
Heritage :
We proudly preserve the sites, tools, and expertise that bear witness to the work of our artisans. We are committed to passing on this living heritage intact to future generations.
History :
We bring to life the stories of those who built our territory. Through their actions and traditions, we honor the roots of our community and share them with today's audiences.
Identify :
Our region bears the imprint of a unique link between land, tradition, and expertise. This rich agri-food heritage, born from the passion of past generations, is something we share, celebrate, and promote.
Vision
The Museum's vision is based on a deep desire to celebrate the identity of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, by showcasing its culinary riches and terroir.
We want to be the premier destination in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, which means we fully embrace our role as a place of gathering, discovery and regional pride.
We will focus on a unique sensory experience, in order to offer much more than exhibitions; we wish to offer a lively, engaging and memorable contact with local heritage.
This immersive approach allows for the exploration of regional culture in a unique and accessible way, while promoting intergenerational transmission and the strengthening of identity roots.

THE PASSION:
