"To perpetuate the memory of the fallen soldiers of the region, the people of Rimouski launched, in 1919, a subscription to erect a monument to the brave of the district of Rimouski. This monument, erected in 1920 on Cathedral Avenue, was moved to its current site in the 1960s, when the Place des Anciens Combattants was created. The author of the work is the French sculptor Jean Bailleul, professor at the École des Beaux-Arts of Quebec. Every year, on November 11th, this place is the scene of a commemorative ceremony.
