Born in the hamlet of Fourdan, he came to Canada with his parents and siblings in about April of 1906. The family settled in the area of Makinak / Ochre River, MB, where they took up a homestead and farmed. Yves lost his mother only a year after their arrival. When his father passed away in 1923, Yves set out to seek his fortune.
His first stop was in the Edmonton region, where, in 1926, he provided labour on a farm belonging to Georges and Victoria Leduc. From there, in 1935, he was in Kindersley, SK, where he is, once again, listed as a farmer. He is known to have made trips back and forth to his native France, before eventually settling down in the Greater Montreal region.
There, he eventually (prior to 1953) wed Marie Poliquin in what was his first and her second marriage. He worked with the CNR for several years, before retiring around the age of 65 in about 1963.
