Mr. Frigon’s activities also extend to various public interests
which have no bearing upon his individual prosperity but arise
from a deep interest in the general welfare. He votes with
the liberal party but takes no active part in politics. He is
a gouverneur à vie de l’Hôpital Notre Dame and he belongs to
Société St. Jean Baptiste. He is also a Knight of Columbus and
one of the most sincere, earnest and enthusiastic workers of the
order, in which he has held a number of offices. His religious
faith is indicated in the fact that he is a past president of a
number of Roman Catholic societies. Along more strictly social
lines he is connected with the St. Denis and Canadian Clubs. Of
the former he is a life member and has also been a life member
since 1901 of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association. He is
an honorary member of the Sixty-fifth Regiment. His official
municipal service has been that of mayor of the new village of
Sault au Récollet, to which office he was called in February,
1910, and as school commissioner of the same village, to which
position he was chosen in August, 1913.
On the 18th of April, 1898, in Montreal, Mr. Frigon was married
to Miss Malvina Perreault, a daughter of Jérémie and Victoria
(Saint Dizier) Perreault, both of whom are now deceased. Her
father was for a term of years alderman of the city of Montreal
and president of l’Association St. Jean Baptiste of Montreal. For
thirty years he conducted business here as a dry-goods merchant.
Mr. and Mrs. Frigon are the parents of two children: Jeanne, born
in Montreal on the 12th of February, 1899; and Germaine, on the
12th of November, 1900.
Mr. Frigon is a most enthusiastic supporter of his native city,
in which his entire life has been passed, taking keen interest in
its progress and having firm belief in the great future. He has
been an untiring worker for the construction of the Georgian Bay
canal, acting as president of the special commission appointed
by the Chamber of Commerce of Montreal to take charge of that
project. In all of his public as well as his private connections
he has been a man of action rather than of theory, formulating
his plans carefully and carrying them forward to successful
termination.
HUGH MACKAY.
On the list of Montreal’s lawyers appears the name of Hugh
Mackay, who in 1913, was created king’s counsel. His practice
covers a period of fourteen years, in which he has made
continuous advancement. He was born in Montreal in 1875, a son
of the Hon. Robert Mackay. His early educational opportunities
were supplemented by a course in McGill, where he was graduated
in 1900, with the B. C. L. degree. He has since practiced as
an advocate in his native city, and his professional career
has been one of growing success, a liberal and distinctively
representative clientage being now accorded him.
Mr. Mackay was married in 1903 in Montreal to Miss Isabel, a
daughter of J. N. Greenshield, K. C.
