The members of the Club Richelieu celebrated the historic contribution of Mr. Alfred Lefebvre, one of its founding members, during their meeting on Tuesday, January 14. An honourary trophy, designed in memory of this public-spirited legendary entrepreneur, was unveiled to highlight his role in the creation of the service club in 1948.
According to records, the first meetings were held at the former Hotel Royal on Montreal Road. This marked the beginning of a gathering of French-speaking businessmen, as well as the arrival of Cornwall’s first entirely French-language club. Since that day, thanks to the generosity of its benefactors, Club Richelieu has invested over a million dollars into the community.
