Boomtown: Duvernay, a Laval suburb circa 1965
Reference: Centre d’archives de Laval, P079/A, 3.099
Duvernay, a city developed for an affluent middle class. A bungalow, a fancy car, a beautiful yard and a greener lawn than the neighbour’s. A model of happiness and a typically American symbol of success!
