Jean-Lesage is a provincial electoral district in theCapitale-Nationale region ofQuebec,Canada that elects members to theNational Assembly of Quebec. It consists of parts of theBeauport andLa Cité-Limoilou boroughs ofQuebec City.
It was created for the2003 election from most of the formerLimoilou and part ofMontmorency electoral districts. Even earlier, before Limoilou, the electoral district ofQuébec-Est existed in the same general area.
In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it lost some territory toMontmorency but gained some territory fromTaschereau; it also gained a tiny amount of territory fromCharlesbourg.
It was named after formerQuebec PremierJean Lesage who orchestrated theQuiet Revolution from 1960 to 1966.
