The name MARIE-UGUAY was given to the public library of Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot at its inauguration at Carrefour Notre-Dame.

 Marie Uguay (1955-1981), born Lalonde, selected the name Marie Uguay to honour her maternal grandfather, César Uguay, a Montreal violin teacher. Marie spent her summers at her grand-parents' cottage facing the river, at 40 rue Auclair in Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot. She had the gift of writing. She published two books of poetry in 1976 and 1979 and became a member of "l'Union des écrivains québécois". Shortly before, she learned that she had bone cancer.

She participated in "La nuit de la poésie". Her participation at this show was revelation. Shortly before her death on October 25, 1981, director Jean-Claude Labrecque filmed an intimate and moving documentary during which Marie Uguay opened up her soul to journalist and writer Jean Royer. Following her wishes, Marie Uguay was buried in the Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal cemetery, facing the river, beside her grandfather, César, on Novembre 3, 1981 at Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot.

Marie Uguay is considered one of the most important contemporary Québécoise poets. Les Editions du Noroît published book of her works, POEMES, in March 1994.
