Cuthbert-Alphonse Chênevert (May 22, 1859 – July 7, 1920) was a lawyer and political figure in Quebec. He represented Berthier in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1890 to 1892 and from 1897 to 1903 as a Liberal.
Quebec is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario and the bodies of water James Bay and Hudson Bay; to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay; to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador; and to the south by the province of New Brunswick and the U.S. states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. It also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia. Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger. It is historically and politically considered to be part of Central Canada.
Berthier is a provincial electoral district in the Lanaudière region of Quebec, Canada that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It includes the municipalities of Saint-Michel-des-Saints, Saint-Jean-de-Matha, Saint-Come and Mandeville.
The Legislative Assembly of Quebec was the name of the lower house of Quebec's legislature until December 31, 1968, when it was renamed the National Assembly of Quebec. At the same time, the upper house of the legislature, the Legislative Council, was abolished. Both were initially created by the Constitutional Act of 1791.
He was born in Saint-Cuthbert, Canada East, the son of Théophile Chênevert and Mathilde Filteau, and was educated in Saint-Cuthbert, at the Collège de l'Assomption, at the Collège Sainte-Marie and the Université Laval. Chênevert was called to the Quebec bar in 1883 and practised law in Saint-Cuthbert, Berthier and Montreal, in partnership with Joseph-Émery Robidoux and then Georges-Albini Lacombe. Chênevert founded La Gazette de Berthier in 1880 and was owner and editor until 1906. He was defeated by Victor Allard when he ran for reelection to the Quebec assembly in 1892. Chênevert was married twice: to Marie-Berthe-Valérie Rocher in 1884 and to Marie Melchers in 1907. In 1901, he founded Le Courrier de Sorel, also serving as editor. In the same year, he was named King's Counsel. He resigned his seat in the Quebec assembly in 1903 after being named recorder for the Quebec Court of Appeal in Montreal district. Chênevert died in Berther at the age of 61.
Saint-Cuthbert is a municipality in the Lanaudière region of Quebec, Canada, part of the D'Autray Regional County Municipality.
Canada East was the northeastern portion of the United Province of Canada. Lord Durham's Report investigating the causes of the Upper and Lower Canada Rebellions recommended merging those two colonies. The new colony, known as the Province of Canada was created by the Act of Union 1840 passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, having effect in 1841. For administrative purposes, the new Province was subdivided into Canada West and Canada East. The former name of "Lower Canada" came back into official use in 1849, and as of the Canadian Confederation of 1867, it formed the newly created province of Quebec.
Collège Sainte-Marie was a college in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It ceased to exist in 1969, when it was merged into UQAM.
