Fleuri Perron - Family, Death, and Legacy

Family, Death, and Legacy

Fleuri and Lina Perron had nine children, six of whom survived infancy. His son, Alex Perron himself served as a mayor of St. Albert. Another son, Eugene, married Evelyn Hogan, daughter of Michael Hogan, the longest serving mayor in St. Albert's history.

Fleuri Perron died in 1931. Perron Street, a major street in St. Albert's downtown, is named in his honour. It was renamed in 1967 from Piron Street. The town council at the time claimed that it was only correcting a misspelling and that the road had always been intended to be named in Perron's honour, but an alternative theory states that it had been originally named in honour of France's Piron family, which had donated the bells for the St. Albert mission.
