Mr. Dupuis holds to the political faith of the conservative
party and to the religious faith of the Roman Catholic church.
He is a Knight of Columbus of Conseil Lafontaine and belongs
to the Chapleau Fish and Game Club and the Canadian Club.
Thoroughly progressive in his ideas, he has kept well informed
both by reading and travel. As long ago as 1874, Mr. Dupuis
visited Fort Garry, now the city of Winnipeg, when the journey
required fourteen days from Montreal, and too, when the Red
River country was considered the “Far West.” He has since then
visited the Pacific coast no less than five times, as well as
various sections of the United States. He is equally familiar
with England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as well as continental
Europe, as it was formerly his custom to make semi-annual trips
to Europe in connection with his business affairs. He enjoys
the outdoor life, especially the sports of the forest. His
public service has been well performed. At the end of 1909 he
was selected by the citizens committee to form part of the new
administration of the city as commissioner and was elected by the
city at large in the election held on the 2d of February, 1910.
