Joseph Gariépy

Joseph Hormidas Gariépy (December 3, 1852 – July 6, 1927) was a politician in Alberta, Canada and a municipal councillor in Edmonton.

Gariépy was born in L'Assomption County, Canada East on December 3, 1852.

At age sixteen, he moved to Montreal where he lived for twenty-four years, working in the grocery business.

Gariépy partnered with Prosper-Edmond Lessard, a former employee who would later become his son-in-law by marrying Emily Gariépy, both through his general store and through subsequent real estate ventures which saw both men become wealthy.

He did not seek municipal office again during his lifetime, although he did sit as a Catholic school trustee between 1914 and 1924.
