Lorraine Pagé (born 1947) is a Canadian politician and trade unionist.[1] She previously served on Montreal City Council as councillor for the district of Sault-au-Récollet in the borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville from 2013 to 2017.[2]
Earlier, she also served as head of the Centrale des syndicats du Québec from 1988 to 1999, and was the first woman to lead a major labour union in the province.[1]
She ran in the 2013 municipal election as a candidate of the Vrai changement pour Montréal party.[1] On election day, she won the seat by a margin of just one vote over Nathalie Hotte of the Équipe Denis Coderre.[2] After party leader Mélanie Joly was not elected to city council, Joly stepped down as leader in 2014, and Pagé was then selected as Joly's successor.[3]
Pagé later became an independent member, and was succeeded as party leader by Justine McIntyre.[4] Pagé, who ran against Team Coderre in the election of 2013, decided to join Équipe Denis Coderre for the one in 2017. She stated that the party was created as a vehicle for Melanie Joly, who has since left for federal politics, serving as the heritage minister.[5]
