Caisse Desjardins de LaSalle was founded on October 1, 1999, following a merger of Caisse Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur- de-Ville-LaSalle, Caisse Saint-Nazaire, Caisse LaSalle-Centre, and Caisse Cavelier de LaSalle. The merger was initiated by Jeanne Leroux, president of Caisse Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur and first president of the new Caisse. In 2007, Ms. Leroux was named member of the Ordre du Mérite coopératif québécois.
