Witness to an exile
Source: Deke Richards
This monument at the Côte-des-Neiges cemetery was erected in honour of the Patriots. The photograph shows the names of 11 men who were exiled to Australia as a result of their actions during the rebellions of 1837 and 1838.
The name of François-Maurice LePailleur, son of notary François-Georges, appears on the fourth row.
