Joseph-Hyacinthe Bellerose (French pronunciation: [ʒozɛf jasɛ̃t bɛlʁoz]; July 12, 1820 – August 13, 1899) was a Canadian militiaman and politician.
After marriage, the couple moved to Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Quebec, where Bellerose entered business and began farming.
The next year, he was approached regarding a captaincy position in the 100th foot of the regular army, but declined the offer for reasons unknown.
[1][2] In 1861, Bellerose made an attempted entry into politics by running against Louis-Siméon Morin for the Quebec Legislative Assembly of Canada constituency of Laval.
It was due to the insistence of Bellerose that from 1877, the record of debates in the Senate of Canada was translated into French, a reminder of his roots in Quebec.
