Biographical history

Camille J. Lerouge (1893-1971) was born in Lille, France to Auguste Lerouge and Marie Widar. In 1907, the Lerouge family emigrated to Canada, settling, initially in Innisfail, Alberta, but moving to Red Deer shortly thereafter. In 1910, Camille Lerouge found work with the Canadian Pacific Railway in Red Deer. He remained with the C.P.R. for 47 years. He married Catherine Mary Van Dyck (1913-2004) of Bluffton, Alberta in 1936, they had five children: Marguerite, Aline, Cecelia, Camille-Joseph, and Robert. Mr. Lerouge was active in the church and community, in the 1930s he served one term on the North Red Deer village council. From 1917 to 1951, he served on the Red Deer Separate School board, serving as secretary-treasurer for 31 years. At the Sacred Heart Church, he was choir director as well as a member of the Parish Council for over 25 years. In 1968, the new Catholic high school in Red Deer was named the Camille J. Lerouge Collegiate, and renamed Ecole Camille Lerouge in 1996. Both Camille and Mary Lerouge are buried in the Red Deer Cemetery.
