Rolland Dion

Rolland Dion, born on July fifth, nineteen thirty-eight, was a prominent figure in Canadian politics and business. Hailing from Saint-Raymond, Quebec, he dedicated much of his life to public service and community development.

His political career began as the mayor of Saint-Raymond, a position he held from nineteen seventy-three to nineteen seventy-nine. During this time, he made significant contributions to the local community, establishing a legacy that would resonate for years to come.

Dion's political journey continued as he became a member of the Liberal party, winning the riding of Portneuf in the nineteen seventy-nine federal election. He was re-elected in nineteen eighty, serving in both the thirty-first and thirty-second Canadian Parliaments. However, his tenure was cut short in nineteen eighty-four when he was defeated by Marc Ferland of the Progressive Conservative party.

After a hiatus from federal politics, Rolland Dion returned to his roots, once again serving as mayor of Saint-Raymond from two thousand six until his passing in two thousand eleven. His commitment to his hometown and its residents remained unwavering throughout his life.
