Allyre Louis Joseph Sirois (25 August 1923 – 8 September 2012)[1][2] was a Canadian fransaskois judge of the Court of the Queen's Bench in Saskatchewan, Canada.
In 1941 Sirois responded to the call to aid Great Britain in World War II by enrolling in the Canadian Army.
[4][5] Sirois had a narrow escape when another Allied officer was caught by the Germans and turned informant, leading to the arrest of the other two members of the cell.
In September 1996, the Saskatchewan Minister of Justice asked the Canadian Judicial Council to investigate remarks made by Sirois during a bail hearing for a man accused of beating his girlfriend because she failed to get up and hand him the TV remote.
[6] He was also criticized in The Globe and Mail for having referred to prostitutes as belonging to "a different caste", and for saying to a female who had been assaulted when she was 12 years old that she bore some responsibility for the incident.
He was president of the Gravelbourg School Board for 10 years (1953–1963), president of the Association Culturelle Franco-Canadienne, the national network of French-language theatres (1963–1963), served as fundraising co-chair of the La Troupe du Jour, a Saskatoon francophone theatre group, to erect a performing studio, and served on several other municipal boards.
