Linda LeBourdais

Linda Lillian LeBourdais (born March 31, 1945 in Montreal, Quebec) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. She was a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1987 to 1990.

LeBourdais was educated at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, and worked as a public relations and marketing consultant in the fashion and retail sectors. She has served as president of the federal Liberal riding association in Etobicoke Centre, and of the Etobicoke Centre Women's Committee. LeBourdais was also the national director of Stay Alert ... Stay Safe, a national non-profit organization in the field of child safety.

She was elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1987 provincial election, defeating Progressive Conservative Doug Holyday by over 6,000 votes in Etobicoke West . She served as a backbench supporter of David Peterson's government for the next three years, and was a parliamentary assistant in 1988-89. She served as Advocate from Ontario's clothing and apparel industry during her time in office.

Prior to the 1990 provincial election, LeBourdais was challenged for the Liberal nomination by a representative of a local Sikh group, which claimed the Peterson government was insufficiently responsive to minority communities. She won the nomination, but was defeated in the general election by Chris Stockwell of the Progressive Conservative Party. She has not sought a return to the legislature since this time.

She returned to the private sector after her defeat, and became president of Mentor Communications. In 2005, she was appointed as a member of Ontario's Social Benefits Tribunal.
