Jean-Lesage


Jean-Lesage is a provincial electoral district in the Capitale-Nationale region of Quebec, Canada that elects members to the National [Assembly of Quebec]. It consists of parts of the Beauport and La Cité-Limoilou boroughs of Quebec City.
It was created for the 2003 election from most of the former Limoilou and part of Montmorency (provincial [electoral district)|Montmorency] electoral districts. Even earlier, before Limoilou, the electoral district of Québec-Est existed in the same general area.
In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it lost some territory to Montmorency but gained some territory from Taschereau; it also gained a tiny amount of territory from Charlesbourg.
It was named after former Quebec Premier Jean Lesage who orchestrated the Quiet Revolution from 1960 to 1966.
