Fleuri Perron
Canadian politician
Fleuri Perron (also spelled Fleury Perron) (February 4, 1866 - August 1931) was a businessman, politician, and mayor of St. Albert, Alberta.
Early life
Perron was born in Portneuf in 1866, and moved to Egg Lake in what is now Sturgeon County, Alberta in February 1883, after hearing Bishop Vital-Justin Grandin encouraging francophones to move west. In 1892 he married Lina Laliberté, and soon after moved to St. Albert.
Business career
In 1896, Perron acquired the Windsor Hotel in St. Albert, which he operated for four years before selling it. In 1900, he opened a brick factory and purchased a general store which he operated with Cheri Hebert until 1907, when he bought out Hebert.
In 1912, he re-entered the hotel business by becoming President of the Royal Hotel Company Limited, which opened the Royal Hotel in 1913 to replace another hotel that had burned down. Though the hotel was "the best north of Edmonton, the advent of Prohibition in 1915 put an end to its viability, and it was soon closed and demolished.

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
