François Gaston de Lévis est né le 20 août 1719 au château d'Ajac, près de Limoux en France. Il est celui qui a pris les commandes de l'armée lors de la mort de Montcalm et de la prise de Québec, le 13 septembre 1759. Il s'est également rendu célèbre à la suite de sa victoire lors de la bataille de Sainte-Foy, le 28 avril de l'année suivante.

Une capsule temporelle a été enfouie sous le socle. Clin d'œil à cette vieille tradition autrefois associée à l'érection d'un monument commémoratif, cette boîte scellée renferme divers objets, documents et contributions symboliques offerts en témoignage aux générations futures.

Translated from the above noted text:

François Gaston de Lévis was born on August 20, 1719 at the Château d'Ajac, near Limoux in France. He was the one who took command of the army during the death of Montcalm and the capture of Quebec on September 13, 1759. He also became famous following his victory at the Battle of Sainte- Foy, April 28 of the following year.

A time capsule has been buried under the plinth. A nod to this old tradition once associated with the erection of a commemorative monument, this sealed box contains various objects, documents and symbolic contributions offered as witnesses to future generations.
