Values that arise from our vision:
Caisse Desjardins de Terrebonne first opened in the basement of the Saint-Louis de France parish parsonage on April 30, 1950. It was founded by the parish priest, Louis-Joseph Gervais, and a group of parishioners.
Despite its humble beginnings with 70 members and total deposits of $3,190, the caisse had a bright future ahead of it. Over the years, the caisse came to play an ever-greater role in the community. Today, more than 70 years later, the caisse has 40,000 members and $3.4 billion in business volume.
