Hilaire Cholette (January 1, 1856 – May 21, 1905) was a Canadian physician and political figure. He represented Vaudreuil in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1892 to 1897 as a Conservative.
Vaudreuil is a provincial electoral district in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It includes the cities of Vaudreuil-Dorion, Hudson, Ile-Perrot, Terrasse-Vaudreuil, Pincourt and Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot.
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.
The Conservative Party of Quebec was a political party in Quebec, Canada, from 1867 until 1936, when it merged with members of the Action libérale nationale to form the Union Nationale.
He was born in Rigaud, Canada East, the son of Hyacinthe Cholet and Julie Séguin, and was educated at the Collège Bourget and Victoria College in Montreal. He received his diploma in medicine in 1876 and set up practice in Sainte-Justine-de-Newton. In 1883, Cholette married Marie-Corinne Taylor. He was a justice of the peace and also served on the municipal council for Sainte-Justine-de-Newton. Cholette was defeated by Émery Lalonde when he ran for a seat in the Quebec assembly in 1890. He defeated Lalonde in 1892 but lost to him when he ran for reelection in 1897. Cholette died in Sainte-Justine-de-Newton at the age of 49.
Rigaud is a municipality in southwestern Quebec, Canada in the county of Vaudreuil-Soulanges in Vallée-du-Haut-Saint-Laurent region. The municipality is located at the junction of Ottawa River and Rigaud River. It is situated about 70 kilometres west of downtown Montreal and 130 kilometres east of Ottawa. The population as of the Canada 2011 Census was 7,346.
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 Bourget is a Roman Catholic French-language private school and former classical college in Rigaud, Quebec, Canada operated by the Clerics of Saint Viator. It was founded in 1850, and is named after Ignace Bourget, bishop of Montreal from 1840 until 1876. Despite its former religious involvements, the students are no longer obliged to practice Catholicism or any other religions, although it appears that a good amount of the school members are catholic.
Bourget has about 1100 day students, and some 250 boarders, including a few foreign students such as South Africans, South and Central Americans, notably Mexicans. The principal is Jean-Marc St-Jacques, c.s.v. The sports elites of Bourget are named The Voltigeurs. The students that attend this school also are required to wear uniforms that include pants, a skirt, 2 blouses and 2 polos. They have now recently added ipads to their system.
