Memorial Plaque in L'Ancienne-Lorette
Memorial Plaque in L'Ancienne-Lorette

Robitailles having been among the first settlers of L'Ancienne-Lorette, and our ancestor Pierre having been a strong supporter of the work of Father Chaumonot, the Association used the occasion of the 1995 rally to render homage to the contribution of Robitailles for 325 years of living in this community by unveiling a monument in Chaumonot Park only a few minutes away from the steps of the church in L'Ancienne-Lorette. The bronze plaque bears the following message:

1670 - 1995
In memory
of the first Robitailles
who arrived in America and
established the city of L'Ancienne-Lorette
in 1670
