Thirty years ago, the village of Saint-Paulin Dalibaire in Gaspesia was literally erased from the map: the houses burnt to the ground, church and buildings razed. In the name of a policy that left little room for hope, the government had decided to eliminate this human enclave at the foot of the Monts Notre-Dame and relocate the people to the Gaspesian coast. Saint-Paulin, like several other villages, didn’t survive the objectives of the regional developers who considered, rightly or wrongly, that the economic revitalization of the Bas-Saint-Lauret and Gaspesia first required the closing down of communities that were too small, too far and too costly. A necessary evil, they said. But these people didn’t want to leave — not all of them, in any case.
