Roger Larivée is a former politician in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He served on the Montreal city council from 1978 to 1982 as a member of the Civic Party of Montreal.
Larivée worked at his family's roofing firm in private life.[1] He first ran for a seat on city council in the 1974 municipal election and was defeated in the second Saint-Jacques ward. He was elected in the 1978 municipal election, in which the Civic Party won a landslide majority, and served for the next four years as a backbench supporter of mayor Jean Drapeau's administration. He was defeated by Robert Perreault of the Montreal Citizens' Movement in the 1982 election.
Larivée intended to run as a Civic Party candidate again in the 1986 municipal election but was denied the nomination.[2] He later briefly affiliated with the Montreal Municipal Democratic Alliance party,[3] but ultimately chose to run as an independent. He finished a distant third.
