The Pigeonmobile is a small vehicle designed to help visitors discover the rich history of Sainte-Germaine-Boulé.

It offers an immersive journey through the key events that shaped this pioneering community in northwestern Quebec.

The parish of Sainte-Germaine-Boulé was officially founded in 1933, a year marked by the steady arrival of new settlers to the region.

That year is now recognized as the official founding date of the parish.

Originally, the parish was known as Sainte-Germaine-de-Palmarolle.

In 1954, it was officially renamed the municipality of Sainte-Germaine-Boulé.

This transition sparked a well-known local rivalry… but more on that later.

The name Sainte-Germaine was chosen in honor of Sainte-Germaine-de-Dorchester, the home parish of many of the early settlers.

The name “Boulé” was added to pay tribute to Monsignor Auguste Boulet (baptized Auguste Boulé), a key figure in the colonization movement and president of the diocesan colonization society.

“Boulé” also became the name of the parish’s first post office, which opened in 1936.
