In 1910, he was elected to the Montreal City Council for the Centre (Vieux-Montréal) district.[1]

From 1915 to 1924, he was president of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society.[2] A Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, he served as its president from 1938 to 1939.

He is the author of the Code Morin, a book of rules for conducting deliberative assemblies, used in Quebec and Acadia. Morin's rules are inspired by Robert's Rules of Order.
