Patro Le Prevost, now located at 7355 Christophe-Colomb, started out in 1909 in the basement of the old église Saint-Georges, corner of Bernard & Saint-Urbain, now the site of Lambert-Closse school. It moved in 1913 into its own building on the site now occupied by the Saint-Louis arena at 5633 Saint-Dominique Street. The building burned down on January 18, 1977 and the Patro reopened in its present location in 1980. See Web site patroleprevost.qc.ca.
