Maxime Landreville

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maxime Landreville (1860–1938) was a Canadian politician, who served three non-consecutive terms as a member of the Yukon Territorial Council.

Originally from Saint-Paul, Quebec, Landreville moved to Yukon in 1895 to work as a miner.[1] He settled in Dawson City, and in 1898 he was part of a delegation from the city who travelled to Ottawa to lobby for changes in federal mining regulation.[2]

He was first elected to the territorial council in the 1903 Yukon general election to represent Yukon Electoral District No. 2.[3] He served until 1905, and did not run for reelection in the 1905 Yukon general election.[4]

In the 1909 Yukon general election he was elected from Klondike,[5] again serving a single term until 1912; in the 1917 Yukon general election he was elected in North Dawson,[6] serving until 1920.

In addition to his political career, he also served as a regional president of the Yukon Order of Pioneers in Dawson,[7] and was a singer in the local church choir.[8]
