Business centre at the corner of rues St-Denis and Girouard, Saint-Hyacinthe P.Q. Canada, formerly the banque des cantons de l’est, a building that was replaced in 1966 by the CIBC.

This was the bank for my law office when I practised my profession in the Édifice de La Survivance located at 1555 rue Girouard Ouest, corner of rue Saint-Denis, today Humania, suite 100, from February 1971 to June 1978, after having done my Bar articling there with the lawyers Deslandes & Déry in June 1969.

It was at this bank that I took out my first bank loan to buy my 1969 Oldsmobile... blue and white with white leather bucket seats... and a rear defroster... a novelty at the time. Ym

Painting given to my financial advisor M.R. on October 25, 2023, at an evening at the resto Lussier, to mark her departure from the CIBC in October 2023.
