L. Paquin & Fils Inc. (1955-2010) Memories of a General Store

Ludger Paquin was born in 1900 in Escanaba, Michigan. The family came to settle in Saint-Jovite (now downtown Mont-Tremblant) in 1903. At the age of 14 he took a job at E. GAUTHIER, the village general store. Built in 1895 by Léandre Gauthier, the business was subsequently left to Léandre’s son Édouard en 1912. Ludger quickly won his boss’s trust and Mr. Gauthier gave him more and more responsibility, including the correspondence and the purchase of merchandise.

In 1925, Ludger married Anne-Marie Bedard. They had five children: Jeannine in (1926-2020), Yvette (1928-1946), Jean Louis in (1931-2013), Jacques in 1935, and Pierre in 1943. Édouard died suddenly in 1954 and in 1955, Ludger Paquin became the owner of the business and gave it his name.

A young man of the village, Jean-Guy Ouimet, hired by Édouard, bridged the gap between the two administrations. He spent ten years in the company before launching a 25-year career in the police force, after which he returned to work in the business for another 20 years.

If I remember rightly, Ludger was a part of my father’s circle of friends. Despite the large age gap, they shared passions such as the fishing club “La Sauteuse”, organized on Gaston Gervais’s initiative for their group of hunting and fishing enthusiasts.

You could find just about everything in the store: flour, sugar, canned goods, tools, clothing, leaf tobacco…. It was also a community gathering place and I remember going there with my father and being fascinated by this Ali Baba’s cave. Ludger’s children helped out in the store, of course, but each of them chose their own path. After studying at HEC, Jacques took over the family business when his father died in 1975.

The Paquin & Fils customers were an eclectic lot. There were locals, naturally, but also people from nearby villages convinced they could find what they needed here. Tourists, too, were fascinated by this old-time store with its inventory as comprehensive as it was diverse. Year in year out they came to find what they needed for hunting and fishing.

Because they spoke only French, the employees had the brilliant idea of creating an exhaustive bilingual catalogue to deal with the language issue and thus meet the needs of the Anglophone customers. L. Paquin & Fils Inc. also had a social role to play. It was there that you went to get the latest news and chat with the people you ran into.

Entering the store – a relic of a bygone age – felt comforting. From floor to ceiling there was up-to date merchandise, but also heritage items we didn’t realize were still being produced. Sometimes outdated things that made you smile suddenly became indispensable.

I remember, for instance, having to ask Jacques (alias “Le Blond”) to find some ski equipment from the ‘40s for Tremblant’s 60th anniversary. Sure enough, he had it in stock.

With its wood-crafted facade, the building’s architecture raised as much curiosity as it did admiration for a lost aesthetic. Its appearance at the time was so remarkable that it was included in Louise Sigouin’s book Les commerces immortels du Québec (Québec’s immortal businesses) whose preface, written by the late Serge Bouchard, said: “The new fashion, the real, consists of capturing the true face of the old. Not to ponder, but to use.”

General Store

A general store is a rural or small-town store that carries a general line of merchandise. It carries a broad selection of merchandise, sometimes in a small space, where people from the town and surrounding rural areas come to purchase all their general goods. The store carries routine stock and obtains special orders from warehouses. General stores often sell staple food items such as milk and bread, and various household goods such as hardware and electrical supplies.

Luc’s grandfather had a general store in Canada. That general store sold beans, cigarette, tobacco, chips, candy, household, home appliance, clothing, shoes, tools, hardware, electrical, paints, fishings, sports equipment, firearms, etc…

Business Concept

This document is to outline a business concept that has been in the back of my mind for many years. The main reason that it is still in the back of my mind is that the project requires substantial commitments and financing and that I was always waiting to find a place where I wanted to settle down and for other projects to move forward to be able to start this one.

After postponing it for a couple of decades, I think that it is a good idea to bring it to the forefront and actually work on making it come through as the time seems right. This document is not a business plan, but a way to put all the ideas that have been turning in my head for so many years. I plan to present it to various people to see if the project makes sense and is worth investing substantial efforts in preparing a formal business plan and finding proper financing.

Raspberry Pi Zero Case

The Raspberry Pi Zero Case has been designed to fit both the Pi Zero and the Pi Zero W. These official cases consist of several parts and protect the Raspberry Pi Zero from things like rogue wires that might short it out while still allowing full access to the board. Simply snap the RPi into the bottom half of the enclosure, then snap on a desired top. No tools required.

Each case has a standard base featuring a cut-out to allow access to the GPIO, and a choice of three lids: a standard lid, a GPIO lid (allowing access to the GPIO pins from above) and a camera lid which, when used with the short camera cable supplied, allows the Raspberry Pi camera to be fitted neatly inside it.

Top Hat

A Top Hat at is a tall, flat-crowned hat for men traditionally associated with formal wear in Western dress codes, meaning white tie, morning dress, or frock coat. The 1840s and the 1850s saw it reach its most extreme form, with ever-higher crowns and narrow brims. The stovepipe hat was a variety with mostly straight sides, while one with slightly convex sides was called the “Chimney Pot”.

The kukri or khukuri is a Nepalese knife with an inwardly curved blade, similar to a machete, used as both a tool and as a weapon in Nepal. Traditionally, it was, and in many cases still is, the basic utility knife of the Nepalese people. It is a characteristic weapon of the Nepalese Army, the Royal Gurkha Rifles of the British Army, the Assam Rifles, the Assam Regiment, the Garhwal Rifles, the Gorkha regiments of the Indian Army, and of all Gurkha regiment throughout the world, so much so that some English-speakers refer to the weapon as a “Gurkha blade” or “Gurkha knife”. The kukri often appears in Nepalese heraldry and is used in many traditional rituals such as wedding ceremonies.

The kukri, khukri, and kukkri spellings are of Indian origin, the original Nepali form being khukuri.


El kukri o khukuri es un cuchillo nepalés con una hoja curvada hacia adentro, similar a un machete, que se utiliza como herramienta y como arma en Nepal. Tradicionalmente, era, y en muchos casos todavía lo es, el cuchillo de utilidad básico del pueblo nepalés. Es un arma característica del Ejército de Nepal, los Rifles Gurkha Reales del Ejército Británico, los Rifles Assam, el Regimiento Assam, los Rifles Garhwal, los regimientos Gorkha del Ejército Indio, y de todo el regimiento Gurkha en todo el mundo, tanto por lo que algunos angloparlantes se refieren al arma como una “espada Gurkha” o un “cuchillo Gurkha”. El kukri a menudo aparece en la heráldica nepalí y se usa en muchos rituales tradicionales, como las ceremonias de boda.

Los deletreos kukri, khukri y kukkri son de origen indio, la forma original nepalí es khukuri.

Traditionnellement, il était, et dans de nombreux cas, toujours le couteau utilitaire de base du peuple népalais. C’est une arme caractéristique de l’armée népalaise, des Royal Gurkha Rifles de l’Armée britannique, des Assam Rifles, du Régiment Assam, des Garhwal Rifles, des régiments Gorkha de l’armée indienne et de tous les régiments Gurkha du monde entier. de sorte que certains anglophones se réfèrent à l’arme comme étant une “lame de Gurkha” ou un “couteau Gurkha”. Le kukri apparaît souvent dans l’héraldique népalaise et est utilisé dans de nombreux rituels traditionnels tels que les cérémonies de mariage.

Les orthographes kukri, khukri et kukkri sont d’origine indienne, la forme népalaise d’origine étant khukuri.
