Biography

At the end of his engineering studies in Liège, Michel Fragasso immigrated to Quebec in 1912 to pursue a career as an engineer. In addition to having participated in the construction of the Quebec bridge around 1913, this engineer erected several dams, in particular those of the Jacques-Cartier lakes, in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, and of the Sautauriski Lake, located in Jacques-Cartier National Park.[1]

The toponym "Lac Fragasso" was formalized on October 19, 1990, by the Commission de toponymie du Québec[2] referring to the work of life of Michel Fragasso.
