Like other black mayors in Quebec history, Chérubin led a municipality which is virtually entirely white and Québécois.[2] Early lifeThe youngest of five children, Chérubin was born in Jacmel, Haiti, in 1943.[3] He was educated in Haiti, where he was a childhood friend and classmate of Michel Adrien, who would later become mayor of Mont-Laurier, Quebec.[2] Fleeing the dictatorship regime of François Duvalier, Chérubin left Haiti while he was still studying mathematics in a Port-au-Prince university. [4] He moved to Canada in 1970 to study education at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières,[5] and subsequently taught religion in Cap-de-la-Madeleine.[5] In 1971, he married Immacula Morriset, a nurse also originally from Haiti. Chérubin continued to teach in 1973, and also studied administration and English as a Second Language teaching at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue.[2] He moved to Amos in 1974. Political careerChérubin was first elected as a municipal councillor in Amos in 1994, winning his seat with a five-hundred vote majority.[5] After being re-elected unopposed as a councillor in 1998, Chérubin was elected to the position of mayor of Amos. In 2004, he was awarded the Jackie Robinson Award, in honour of his status as a pioneering Black Canadian, by the Montreal Association of Black Business Persons and Professionals.[6] In 2009, city councillors Charles Yancey and Chuck Turner of Boston, Massachusetts, sponsored a motion declaring January 2, 2010, to be Ulrick Chérubin Day in the City of Boston, when he visited the city.[7] Chérubin was most recently re-elected in 2013, winning his fourth consecutive term, winning 73% of the vote in a victory over Amos municipal councillor Éric Mathieu.[8] On November 10, 2013, Chérubin appeared on Le Banquier, the Quebec version of Deal or No Deal, where he won a total of $222,500. Chérubin, who was selected to take part in the program out of a pool of eight thousand initial applicants, appeared in order to promote and raise funds for the centennial celebration of the town of Amos.[9] DeathOn September 25, 2014, Chérubin died in Amos, aged 70, after falling ill at his residence from cardiac discomfort.[1][10] References1. ^1 {{cite news|title=Le maire d'Amos, Ulrick Chérubin, est mort|url=http://ici.radio-canada.ca/regions/abitibi/2014/09/25/003-ulrick-cherubin-mort-maire-amos-malaise.shtml|accessdate=25 September 2014|publisher=Radio-Canada|date=25 September 2014}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news|last=Blatchford|first=Andy|title=How two Haitian friends became Quebec mayors|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/how-two-haitian-friends-became-quebec-mayors/article10598542/|accessdate=24 April 2014|newspaper=The Globe and Mail|date=31 March 2013}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Ulrick Chérubin|url=http://www.capebretonpost.com/section/2013-10-07/article-3420356/Ulrick-Cherubin/1|accessdate=24 April 2014|newspaper=Cape Breton Post|date=7 October 2013|language=French}} 4. ^http://www.lechoabitibien.ca/actualites/politique.html 5. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Pierre|first=Samuel|title=Ces Québécois venus d'Haïti|date=2007|publisher=Presses inter Polytechnique|isbn=2553014112|pages=451–453|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0uA2aJSrp6gC|language=French}} 6. ^"Three honoured with Jackie Robinson Awards".
