When the Oblate area close to the Catholic Cathedral was developed it became a village named Rouleauville after the prominent French-speaking family Rouleau family. Charles Borromee Rouleau was a stipendiary magistrate when he arrived in 1886 and a year later he was named a judge of the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories. He became a member of the territorial council where he was a strong supporter of French-language rights. His brother Dr. Edouard Hector Rouleau helped establish the Holy Cross Hospital in 1891 and was the first president of Calgary’s St. Jean Baptiste Society. Dr. Rouleau lived in the house located across from St Mary’s High School at 114 – 18 Ave SW. In 1907 Rouleauville and adjoining streets was annexed by the City of Calgary and the named changed to the Mission District.
