Lorraine Pagé (born 1947) is a Canadian politician and trade unionist.[1] She currently serves on Montreal City Council as councillor for the district of Sault-au-Récollet in the borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville.[2]
She previously served as head of the Centrale des syndicats du Québec from 1988 to 1999, and was the first woman to lead a major labour union in the province.[1]
She ran in the 2013 municipal election as a candidate of the Vrai changement pour Montréal party.[1] On election day, she won the seat by a margin of just one vote over Nathalie Hotte of the Équipe Denis Coderre.[2] As party leader Mélanie Joly was not elected to the council, she stepped down as leader in 2014 and Pagé was selected as Joly's successor.[3] She was succeeded by Justine McIntyre.[4]
