As part of the 375th of Montreal, two alleys were awarded for their exceptional layout, including the Demers alley.

You will see on the right, some photos of the Demers alley, a  street that was “flowered” shortly before 2017. This alley bears this name in honour of Father Louis Demers, the last of the Récollets of whom we talked a lot during the St-Pierre-les-Becquets Reunion. He contributed greatly to the construction and development of this region in addition to being a member of Suzanne’s family and a little cousin to André. His brother, Brother Alexis, also contributed at the same time and was even guaranteed housing, clothing and food by Marie-Josephte Hamelin-Laganière, the wife of Alain’s ancestor, Louis-Gaspard married in 1771 in Bécancour by Father Louis. What a small world!!
