Paul Vilmond Savard (July 28, 1864 – August 21, 1908) was a Canadian politician.[1]
Born in Les Éboulements, County of Charlevoix, Canada East, the son of Idas Savard and Démérise Tremblay,[2] Savard received his early education at the Seminary of Chicoutimi. He also studied at the Université Laval, where he graduated in Law in 1886.[3] Savard was called to the Quebec bar in 1886 and practised law in Chicoutimi. In 1889, he married Marie-Louise Dufresne. He was an unsuccessful candidate in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec at the general elections of 1890.[2] He was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons for the electoral district of Chicoutimi—Saguenay in the general elections of 1891, but was unseated. A Liberal, he was re-elected in the general elections of 1896 and was defeated in 1900.[1] He died in Chicoutimi at the age of 44.[2]
His brother Edmond also served as a member of the House of Commons.[1]
