Claire Yale

Portrait of Claire Yale, from the Sentier Ecologique Claire Yale, named in her honor in St-Eustache

Marie Claire Elizabeth Yale (1903 – 1997) was a Canadian socialite, philanthropist and founder of the Historical Society of St-Eustache. She inherited the Yale Islands from her father, politician Arthur Yale, gave land to the city, and saved the building for St-Eustache's City Hall with politician Paul Gouin.

She is the namesake of Sentier écologique Claire Yale on the Yale Islands, and of the Claire-Yale award of the Société d’Histoire Régionale of Deux-Montagnes. The latter was a society she also founded, and was presided by politician Pierre de Bellefeuille.

Mrs. Yale's home on the Yale Islands, the past mansion of her father was burned down in the 1950s
