  • A History of the Town of Baie-D'urfé
    July 1977, A HISTORY OF THE TOWN by Thomas Roche Lee, Mayor of Baie-D'Urfé OF BAIE D'URFE from 1957 to 1961 © Town of Baie-d'Urfé FOREWORD Uniquely fortunate is the community which has in its midst one with a lively interest in its origins, in its history, and in its present. Doubly fortunate is the community whose historian and chronicler is both imaginative as to opportunity, and has had the experience of being its mayor. Those of the past, with the research that permitted them to be remembered, those of the present who also helped make this greatly blessed piece of geography, Baie d'Urfé, and those who follow, all owe much to Tommy Lee. Tommy re-identified the Town with its Urfé origins. He duplicated the historical Alcock-Brown flight from Newfoundland to Ireland and England, he hedge-hopped and railway trained his way across this great country, and chronicled his experiences. He served eminently as our mayor. He raised his arm heavenward with me one Saturday morning, tracing in the sky the potential magnificence of a Centennial flagpole one hundred feet high. Of this great stuff is Tommy Lee. I am honoured by this association with Tommy Lee's story of this great place where I have been privileged to live. A. Clark Graham, Mayor July 12, 1977 A HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF BAIE D'URFE, QUEBEC BY THOMAS R. LEE The town of Baie d'Urfé had its beginnings in 1686 when Francois Saturnin Lascaris d'Urfé, Marquis de Baugé, a French missionary of the Sulpician order, established a mission on what is known today as Caron Point.

  • For Shame...It's So Quétaine
    For Shame...it's so Quétaine Tonight – June 1, 2018 – I wept while traversing my "Mont Royal" At a crawl to savour my "last" permitted through passage A lassitude, a heaviness descended upon my psyche The rule oF the bicycle has arrived, I cried, in frustration and despair The lies and the halF truths that are being propagated The emotions that are being manipulated, Truth is being down-rated, strangulated, mutilated The city I love is being divided by those whose vision is diFFerent than mine It's a crime, in my eyes at least, East and west pitted against one another, I feel depleted, cheated, deFeated, robbed oF a way across the soul oF my island home Their goal in part...the dominance oF the cyclist The demoralization oF the motorist. I groan in absolute Frustration, especially when I see, right there in Front oF me... An ugly barricade, blocking a beloved scene I had come to view...boo hoo to A towering set of ugly wooden bleachers, planks and nuts and bolts and rusty steel, A real and crude monstrosity, given you see The undoubtedly and unwittingly ironic nomenclature oF "Belvédère Soleil". Pray it's only temporary...because it's all so very visibly, risibly "quétaine" For shame, blocking a view oF beauty by such a shoddy, ticky-tacky viewing platForm, By what norm of architectural design can that be viewed as an improvement to Our wonderFul sky-high island park? No earthly spark, no vision oF Olmstead, So oFt referred to in the City's propaganda, Could have included a monstrosity such as this Tsk tsk!

Attempts were made to set up a Catholic parish, but because of the small number of Catholics, they did not succeed. After the war, more and more Germans had to leave their homeland, and many came to Canada. In Montreal a larger colony of German Catholics emerged, all of whom more or less also spoke Hungarian, as they had emigrated from Hungary and from the regions separated from Hungary: from Czechoslovakia, Romania and Yugoslavia. Our people felt very unhappy; they would have liked a Holy Mass with German church songs and with a sermon in German. In 1928 Franciscan Father Jerome Hedly established the Hungarian parish, many of our fellow countrymen joined this community and were members of the same until the emergence of our German community in Saint Louis de France.
