Simon Labrosse

Simon Labrosse (1836 – August 29 1896) was an Ontario businessman and political figure. He represented Prescott in the Canadian House of Commons as an independent Conservative member (some sources say Liberal) from 1882 to 1891.

He was born in Saint-Benoît, Lower Canada in 1836, the son of Pierre Labrosse. He married Marie Ethier. He was a merchant at St. Eugene, also serving on the council and as reeve for East Hawkesbury Township and as warden in 1874 for Prescott and Russell counties. Labrosse was also postmaster for St. Eugene. He ran unsuccessfully against Albert Hagar for a seat in the provincial legislative in an 1881 by-election. He defeated Félix Routhier in 1882 and 1887 for the seat in the federal parliament.

His son Louis-Joseph represented Prescott in the provincial assembly.
