Odette Lavigne
"They call us ‘sovereignists’ or say we are ‘pro-independence’, but I prefer to qualify myself simply as ‘independent’. Independence allows us to emancipate ourselves, both individually and collectively. Let us all be proudly independent!"
Having graduated in Psychology at the University of Montreal and in Administration at the UQÀM, Odette is a political attaché to the MP of Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, Luc Désilets. An experienced and active sovereignist since she was 18 years of age, Odette has, among other things, served as Vice-President of Organisation and Mobilization on the CNJPQ (Comité national des jeunes du Parti Québécois), the PQ’s youth wing, and as Regional President of the Party in Laval. She was also a candidate in the Quebec elections of 2014 and 2018. What’s more, Odette has pursued her passion for improv since 2007.
