Ancien commandant des Fusiliers Mont-Royal puis colonel honoraire, Guy Gauvreau est n\u00e9 \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al en 1915. Il deviendra par la suite une personnalit\u00e9 de premier plan autant dans le monde des affaires que dans le milieu militaire.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s des \u00e9tudes au Mont-Saint-Louis, il d\u00e9croche un Baccalaur\u00e9at en commerce de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 McGill puis un Dipl\u00f4me de l\u2019American Management Association de New York.<\/p>\n

Sa carri\u00e8re militaire d\u00e9buta au Mont-Saint-Louis, o\u00f9 il servit comme commandant-adjoint du Corps de cadets de l\u2019institution. Il s\u2019y m\u00e9rita la M\u00e9daille de la Fondation Stratchcona d\u00e9cern\u00e9e au meilleur cadet du Mont-Saint-Louis et la M\u00e9daille d\u2019or du coll\u00e8ge pour la culture physique.<\/p>\n

D\u00e8s 1935, il se joignit aux Fusiliers Mont-Royal comme Sous-lieutenant et \u00e0 la d\u00e9claration de la guerre en 1939, il s\u2019enr\u00f4la volontairement dans le bataillon d\u2019active.<\/p>\n

Il suivit le r\u00e9giment en Islande, puis en Angleterre, pour se voir en 1941, nomm\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tat-major de la 2e Division canadienne. L\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante, il fut nomm\u00e9 aide-de-camp du Mar\u00e9chal Bernard Laird Montgomeery.<\/p>\n

Au lendemain du raid sanglant de Dieppe, on lui confia la reconstruction du Premier bataillon des Fusiliers Mont-Royal qu\u2019il commanda de septembre 1942 \u00e0 l\u2019automne 1944.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 29 ans, il est promu Brigadier g\u00e9n\u00e9ral sur le front de Normandie et commandant de la 6e Brigade de la 2e Division.<\/p>\n

Au cours de la Deuxi\u00e8me Guerre mondiale, il a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 la lib\u00e9ration de plusieurs villages fran\u00e7ais, dont Dieppe et Falaise ainsi qu\u2019\u00e0 la lib\u00e9ration de la Belgique et de la Hollande. Il est gri\u00e8vement bless\u00e9 \u00e0 Waards, en Hollande, le 26 octobre 1944 lorsque la jeep amphibie sur laquelle il prenait place passe sur une mine qui \u00e9clate. D\u2019abord hospitalis\u00e9 en Angleterre, il est rapatri\u00e9 en 1945.<\/p>\n

Il reprend du service apr\u00e8s la guerre en tant que commandant d\u2019une brigade de milice. Promu colonel honoraire des Fusiliers Mont-Royal en 1961, le Brigadier g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Guy Gauvreau se sera m\u00e9rit\u00e9 de nombreuses d\u00e9corations dont le Distingued Service Order (DS) britannique, la L\u00e9gion d\u2019Honneur fran\u00e7aise et la Legion of Merit am\u00e9ricaine.<\/p>\n

Le nom du Boulevard Colonel Gauvreau honore sa m\u00e9moire \u00e0 Falaise, en France. Son principal projet comme colonel honoraire des Fusiliers Mont-Royal a \u00e9t\u00e9 de voir \u00e0 ce que le r\u00e9giment puisse se doter d\u2019une histoire r\u00e9gimentaire pour son centenaire en 1969.<\/p>\n

Dans la vie civile d\u2019apr\u00e8s-guerre, le Brigadier g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Gauvreau fut d\u2019abord adjoint \u00e0 l\u2019ex\u00e9cutif de la Montreal Tramway Company avant qu\u2019on la transforme en organisme public, puis il fut charg\u00e9 d\u2019organiser un plan de d\u00e9fense civile pour Montr\u00e9al en raison de son exp\u00e9rience dans le domaine militaire, avant de devenir responsable des relations ext\u00e9rieures puis vice-pr\u00e9sident de la Brasserie Dow. Par la suite, il devint directeur de la Commission de transport de Montr\u00e9al, pr\u00e9sident de la Fondation de l\u2019H\u00f4pital Sainte-Justine, consul g\u00e9n\u00e9ral d\u2019Islande \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, pr\u00e9sident-fondateur de la Place Bonaventure et pr\u00e9sident de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de gestion Concordia, o\u00f9 il s\u2019affairera dans la gestion de construction de nombreux \u00e9difices d\u2019importance d\u2019un bout \u00e0 l\u2019autre du Canada.<\/p>\n

Le Brigadier g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Guy Gauvreau est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 Montra\u00e9l en 1990.<\/p>\n<\/div>
