He was a classically trained military musician with the Canadian Armed Forces where he played trombone in the Winnipeg and Quebec City bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHis colleagues at the Canadian Forces Logistics Training Centre in Barrie, Ontario, where he was most recently based, even contributed financially to this acquisition,\u201d says Daniel, his other brother. We wanted to honour his love of cycling and his attachment to Sutton where our parents live and where we spent a lot of time as a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why a bicycle maintenance station?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mathieu, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric\u2019s son, tells us: \u201cHe used to go on a lot of bike trips and, each time, he would stop to enjoy the stations for bike maintenance and marvel at their beauty and usefulness. He felt that this was missing in Sutton, which is known as a cycling destination. He was a strong advocate for cycling, as much for the physical virtues as for the freedom that cycling provides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Photo-station-velo-famille-Lair-aout-21-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Photo-station-velo-famille-Lair-aout-21-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43051\" style=\"width:640px;height:623px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Photo-station-velo-famille-Lair-aout-21-4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Photo-station-velo-famille-Lair-aout-21-4-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Photo-station-velo-famille-Lair-aout-21-4-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mayor Michel Lafrance and Councillor Daniel Martin with Mathieu Lair.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI go ride like the wind,\u201d Frederic would say to his English-speaking wife Sheila before each bike ride.
