LeBLANC, JACQUES A. - 1990 - 2013 - Ottawa, ON – Jacques A. LeBlanc, 22, formerly of Shediac NB, passed away suddenly in Ottawa as the result of a motorcycle accident early Sunday morning, July 21, 2013. Born in Halifax NS, November 24, 1990, he was the youngest son of Marc R. and Annette (Lirette) LeBlanc. A graduate of Louis J.
