The identical girls were born just outside Callander, Ontario, near the village of Corbeil.

All five survived to adulthood.[1]
The Dionne girls were born premature. After four months with their family, custody was signed over to the Red Cross, which paid for their care and oversaw the building of a hospital for the sisters.
Less than a year after this agreement was signed, the Ontario government stepped in and passed the Dionne Quintuplets' Guardianship Act, 1935
