He and his wife arrived first in Saint-Boniface, Manitoba, relocating one year later to St. Albert, Alberta. In 1906 they moved to Lac Majeau, the location of their homestead north of Edmonton.

Bugnet was interested in botany, and experimented with plants that were hardy enough to survive in the northern Alberta climate where he lived. He developed the Lagoda Pine, and the Thrse Bugnet rose, which was named after his sister. He was later recognized his skills in horticulture, and was honoured in 1966 by the provincial government of Alberta, who christened a forest reserve in his name (the Bugnet Plantation Historical Site).

His best known work is the novel La Fort (1935) trans. The Forest (1976), which is hailed as one of the earliest examples of realism in Canadian literature.
