Activist René Dallaire was an articulate voice for Quebec’s disabled community
December 8, 2025
In 1970, a week before his 19th birthday, René Dallaire was competing at a downhill ski event at Mont Vidéo, a ski centre near his hometown of Rouyn-Noranda, Que.
He missed a turn and veered into the woods, the hard snow projecting him forward at high speed until he hit a tree. When help came, the first thing he said was, “I can’t feel my arms or legs.” As his sister Suzanne Dallaire later recalled, that incident sealed the course for the rest of Mr. Dallaire’s life.
