Biography He was born in Saint-Tite, a small town north of Trois-Rivières and has always considered himself as a child of the Mauricie where his immigrant ancestors settled in the middle of the 19th century. They were among the first Europeans to settle as high as the Mékinac river in the upper Saint-Maurice River area.

That choice would have a major influence on him, first because of the nuns concern for language and also because there was a children's library on the way to school. It was like a calling, books!
