Vic grew up in Quebec City, the eldest son of a family of eight. His summers spent as a boy on his grandparents’ farm in La Pocatière were among his fondest memories. He graduated from l’Université Laval as a Metallurgical Engineer in 1948, working summers in steel mills in Southern Ontario. He then travelled to Europe to attend the École Supérieure de Soudure (France). Upon returning to Canada, he joined the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys in Ottawa. It was also in Ottawa that Vic first met and later married his beloved wife Thérèse. In 1969, he was seconded to the Canadian Embassy in Paris, taking with him Thérèse and their son Stéphane on a beautiful adventure. The family settled in Ottawa where he completed his distinguished career with Energy, Mines and Ressources.
