Martine Beaugrand (March 15, 1961 – July 9, 2024) was a Canadian politician, who was acclaimed as the new interim mayor of Laval, Quebec on July 3, 2013 following the resignation of Alexandre Duplessis.[1] She was the city's first female mayor.
Beaugrand was first elected to Laval City Council in the 2009 municipal election, representing the Fabreville ward as a member of the Parti PRO des Lavallois, and sat as an independent councillor from the time of the party's dissolution in 2012. She was one of only two city councillors, along with France Dubreuil, who was not alleged to have been involved in the municipal corruption scandal that has affected the city since the resignation of Gilles Vaillancourt in 2012.
She did not run for another term in the 2013 municipal election.
Beaugrand died on July 9, 2024, at the age of 63.[2]
