Georgette Simard Cartier (1911-2001)

Georgette Simard Cartier is the wife of Dr George Etienne Cartier, Cardio-vascular Surgeon. She bought the house at 476 Lakeshore in 1947, and it was their summer home for 30 years. Mrs Cartier made several appeal to members of the government, in 1958 in order to be able to still use the name Beaurepaire for postal use and in 1964 for the re-installation of the Beaurepaire road sign. She succeeded. Their son, Dr George Etienne Cartier, Psychiatrist, bought the house in 1977 and insulated it to make it his main residence. He inhabited the house up until his death in July 2010.
