Tribute

Mr. Roland Leroy played an important role in the development of Club Motoneige Diable et Rouge. His dedication helped build and grow the network enjoyed today by snowmobilers throughout the region.

The Roland Leroy Trail, known as the Route 117 trail, reflects the lasting mark he left behind. By giving this trail his name, the community keeps his memory alive in the very territory he helped develop.

He passed away on May 16, 2026. The club extends its deepest gratitude and honours a contribution that will continue to inspire our community for years to come.

Ti‑Ben Piché devoted 45 years of volunteer service to Club Motoneige Diable et Rouge. As the club’s vice-president, he maintained the machinery and groomed Trail 317 between Mont-Tremblant and Lac-des-Seize-Îles.

Trail 317, which connects Mont-Tremblant to Lac-des-Seize-Îles, now bears his name. This well-deserved honour recognizes his exceptional work, steadfast commitment, and the countless hours he gave to the club and to snowmobilers.

Ti‑Ben passed away on September 25, 2024. Every ride along this trail is now a way to remember him and to say thank you.

François Piché of Brébeuf was a true snowmobiling pioneer in our region. He was one of the founders of Brébeuf’s first snowmobile club, established in 1969.

As president for many years, he helped develop an extensive regional trail network for everyone to enjoy. For several years, he also operated one of the region’s first snowmobile lodges.

François enjoyed snowmobiling for more than 50 years, until the year before his passing. He passed his passion on to his children, grandchildren, and probably even his great-grandchildren.

Club Motoneige Diable et Rouge salutes you, François. Rest in peace in snowmobiling paradise.

Robert Beaudoin devoted 35 years of volunteer service to Club Motoneige Diable et Rouge. His steadfast and generous commitment left a lasting mark on the community and its trail network.

In his honour and memory, the patrol station now bears the name Robert Beaudoin Patrol Station. Snowmobilers affectionately know it as “Robert’s Cabin.”

Freshly renovated, the cabin remains a familiar landmark in the winter landscape. The renovation preserves this meaningful place and keeps Robert’s memory alive among volunteers and generations of snowmobilers who ride our trails.

Thank you, Robert, for the 35 years you gave to the club and our entire community.
