Horace Chevrier (December 15, 1876 [1] – January 12, 1935 [2] ) was a merchant and political figure in Manitoba. He represented St. Boniface from 1903 to 1907 in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Liberal.
Manitoba is a province at the longitudinal centre of Canada. It is often considered one of the three prairie provinces and is Canada's fifth-most populous province with its estimated 1.3 million people. Manitoba covers 649,950 square kilometres (250,900 sq mi) with a widely varied landscape, stretching from the northern oceanic coastline to the southern border with the United States. The province is bordered by the provinces of Ontario to the east and Saskatchewan to the west, the territories of Nunavut to the north, and Northwest Territories to the northwest, and the U.S. states of North Dakota and Minnesota to the south.
St. Boniface is a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It should not be confused with the federal electoral division of the same name, which includes most of the provincial riding's territory but has expanded boundaries and a larger population base. The riding has existed, in one form or another, since the province's creation.
The Legislative Assembly of Manitoba and the Queen of Canada in Right of Manitoba, represented by the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba form the legislature of the Canadian province of Manitoba. Fifty-seven members are elected to this assembly in provincial general elections, all in single-member constituencies with first-past-the-post voting. The Manitoba Legislative Building is located in central Winnipeg, at the meeting point of the Wolseley and Fort Rouge constituencies.
He was born in Ottawa, the son of Noah Chevrier and Isabelle Johnson, [3] and came to Winnipeg with his parents in 1878. Chevrier was educated there and in St. Boniface. He entered business in his father's store after completing his schooling. In 1895, Chevrier married Margaret Gingras. [1] He was defeated when he ran for reelection in 1907 and again in 1910 in the Carillon riding. [4] Chevrier married Annie, the daughter of Alexander Kittson, [5] in 1907 after the death of his first wife, [3]
Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. It stands on the south bank of the Ottawa River in the eastern portion of southern Ontario. Ottawa borders Gatineau, Quebec; the two form the core of the Ottawa–Gatineau census metropolitan area (CMA) and the National Capital Region (NCR). As of 2016, Ottawa had a city population of 964,743 and a metropolitan population of 1,323,783 making it the fourth-largest city and the fifth-largest CMA in Canada.
Noé E. (Noah) Chevrier was a clothier, furrier and political figure in Manitoba, Canada. He sat for Winnipeg division in the Senate of Canada from 1909 to 1911.
Winnipeg is the capital and largest city of the province of Manitoba in Canada. Centred on the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, it is near the longitudinal centre of North America, approximately 110 kilometres (70 mi) north of the Canada–United States border.
He was president of the Retail Merchants’ Association of Canada. [3] Chevrier died at home in Winnipeg after an extended illness. [2]
