Yvon Lamarre
Yvon Lamarre was a Canadian politician and a City Councillor in Montreal, Quebec.
Lamarre was born and brought up in the Cote St. Paul district of Montreal.[1][2] He graduated from the École des Hautes Études commerciales at the Université de Montréal in 1957.[2] He worked in the family business "Lamarre Frères Inc".[2]
City Councillor
He was elected to Montreal's City Council in 1966 as a Civic candidate against independent incumbent Bruno Lépine in the district of Saint-Henri.[2][3][4] He was appointed to the City Council's executive committee in 1970, becoming the vice-chairman in 1974 and the chairman in 1978.[2]
Chairman of the Executive Council
Lamarre served as Chairman of Montreal's Executive Committee from 1978 to 1986.[5] In 1982 he was considered as a possibility to replace Jean Drapeau when the mayor had a mild stroke.[3] Lamarre was re-elected to the Council in 1982 in the district of Saint-Paul,[citation needed] but did not run for re-election in 1986.[1][6] He was succeeded by Montreal Citizens' Movement (RCM) member Jean Durivage on the City Council.[citation needed]. Lamarre cited as his greatest achievement a city housing project launched in 1979.[1] He subsequently pursued his interest in housing through the 1985 creation of Fondation Yvon Lamarre, which provides adapted residences for those with intellectual impairments.[7]
