Charny, Quebec
Charny is a city in central Quebec, Canada located south of Quebec City and east of the city of Lévis. It is located on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River. The city was merged with Lévis on January 1, 2002.
Over the last century, the city has been tremendously influenced socially and economically by the Canadian National Railway which maintains a major national train yard in the town, Joffre Yard.
The city expanded in population during the late 1980s early 1990s when new neighbourhoods were surveyed and houses were built.
The city has reached regional exposure many times over the last twenty years struggling with Alex Couture , a plant who buys dead animal corpses in order to recycle them, producing sellable by-products. The plant generates bad smell and odours throughout the city.
