Gérald Larose

Officer
2022

A man of conviction, vision and action, Gérald Larose worked to forge a society that is more just, more united and more democratic.

As the long-serving president of the CSN, his actions left their mark not only on the labour movement but also on Québec society as a whole. A lover of the French language, its defence and promotion have always been an important part of his various roles. He was honoured by the Académie française for his contribution to the promotion of French, which has strengthened the visibility of Québec and its metropolis within the Francophonie.
