Félix-Antoine Savard

Félix-Antoine Savard (1896-1982), born in Quebec City and raised in Chicoutimi, ordained a priest in 1922, taught at the Chicoutimi seminary, took part in the colonisation of Abitibi in the thirties and in 1931 founded the parish of Clermont, in Charlevoix, of which he was parish priest. The accounts of the log drivers of the Malbaie river, heard during his ministry, are at the origin of his work. Dean of the faculty of arts of Laval from 1950 to 1957, he founded the Archives de folklore in 1944 with Luc Lacourcière, and collected tales and songs in Quebec and Acadia. He died in Quebec City.
