  LAVOIE, Jean-Noël 1927 - 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Mr. Jean-Noël Lavoie, that occurred in Cannes (France) on March 17, 2013. He is survived by his wife Régine Lhéritier, his daughters Martine and Sophie, grandchildren, Guillaume, Roch and Bénédicte. Born on November 24, 1927, Jean- Noël Lavoie completed his studies at the University of Montreal where he obtained his law degree in 1951. In 1961, he was appointed mayor of Chomedey and in 1965, became the first mayor of the city of Laval. He was the driving force in the creation of the city of Laval in 1965, following the merger of two municipalities: the first in 1961, when the city of Chomedey was created and the second in 1965, when the city of Laval amalgamated the 14 municipalities of l'Île-Jésus. He is elected MLA for the riding of Laval for the first time in 1960 and re-elected in 1962, 1966, 1970, 1973, 1976. In June 1970, Jean-Noël Lavoie became President of the National Assembly of Quebec, a position he held until November 1976. He acted as the House leader of the official opposition from 1976 to 1979. Besides his political career, he was involved in helping people in need. He founded in 1983 the center for drug addiction "The Maisonnée Laval" which he presided until 1992. In 1991, he was appointed Grand Officer of the Ordre de la Pléiade in recognition of his efforts in favor of AIPLF (International Association of Parliamentarians of the French language). Jean-Noël Lavoie became a member of the Order of Canada in 1992.
