French-Canadian Heritage Society of Michigan meetings are free and open to the public. Pre Covid-19, our meetings were held at the Mount Clemens Public Library, 150 Cass Avenue, Mt. Clemens, MI 48043, but are not sponsored by the Library. The Libary is currently under a complete reconstruction. We will place a notice on this page and on our FB page when in-person meetings resume.
NOTE: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the previous meeting dates and locations for the year have been cancelled. At this time, we still do not have access to the meeting space at the Mt. Clemens Library, and it is undetermined how long that status will remain. Instead, we will be offering some digital presentations through Zoom, which will occur on our normal meeting days and times (the second Saturday of the month, at 11:00 a.m. EST). To attend the Zoom Presentations, check your email for registration links sent from the French-Canadian Heritage Society of Michigan. If you currently do not have an email associated with your account, but you would like to participate in the Zoom meetings, please make sure you include an email address either on your renewal membership form or on your online membership form, if you renew on our website. To update your account with an email address immediately, you can also send a message to:
