The Outstanding Ones
In the first section of his book
LES DEMERS ET LEUR HISTOIRE
published in 2012 by our Association, Jacques Brunette wrote:
“In this section whose title, “Les grands noms”, may seem a little pretentious, we listed a good number of Demers whose personality, history or works seemed worthy of mention to us.
Such an enumeration always presents the risk of forgetting some or making choices that will not be unanimous.

The Outstanding Ones
and a section below to provide updates or add new names to our list.
