Timeline
As the special election approached in 2015, Roy-Laroche announced that she would not run for another term as mayor, reconfirming her original announcement of her intention to retire in 2013. Following the special election in November, she was succeeded as mayor by Jean-Guy Cloutier.
Through 2014 and 2015, Roy-Laroche took on a public role as an advocate for improved rail safety. In March 2014, she travelled to Washington, DC as part of a delegation lobbying the United States Congress to improve American rail safety regulations. Later in 2014, she spoke more openly to the media about the disaster's personal impact on her; the deceased had included two of her cousins, and had she been able to babysit her grandchildren on the night of the derailment, her own son would have been at the Musi-Café as well.
Earlier in 2013, Roy-Laroche had announced that she would not run for another term in the 2013 municipal elections. Following the rail disaster, however, the incumbent council's term in office was extended two years so that the town would not have to cope with an election in the middle of the tragedy and its aftermath.
She earned the "Granite Lady" designation in part for her adamant refusal to permit the railway line on which the accident occurred to be rebuilt on its existing path through the downtown core. At least one observer, a Haitian immigrant living in Montreal, praised her as having been more visible and active throughout the crisis than René Préval had been following the 2010 Haiti earthquake. By August 14, just over one month after the accident, the town had preliminary plans in place to rebuild the destroyed downtown.
Born and raised in the nearby town of Sainte-Cécile-de-Whitton, she moved to Lac-Mégantic at age 17. After a brief marriage to a husband who died of cancer at a young age, she remarried in her 20s to Yvan Laroche, an officer with the Sûreté du Québec. A teacher by career, she rose to become director of the town's school board before being elected mayor in 2002.
Colette Roy-Laroche (born August 2, 1943) is a Canadian former politician, who served as mayor of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec from 2002 to 2015. She is best known for her handling of the 2013 Lac-Mégantic rail disaster, which earned her the affectionate nickname "The Granite Lady" for her unflappable strength.
