Hopital Youville, Noranda Quebec
Like most historic hospitals, Hopital Youville has modernized and expanded down through the years. The hospital was first founded in 1929 by the Soeurs Grises de-la-Croix (Nicole Pepin, 1987).

Perhaps his search will inspire you – who knows what stories might be lying around in your attic?
