Adjutor Rivard (22 January 1868 – 17 July 1945 ) was a lawyer, writer, judge and linguist from Quebec, Canada. He studied at the Petit séminaire de Québec and Université Laval. He co-founded the Société du parler français au Canada (SPFC) and is recognized as one of the principal authors of the Glossaire du parler français au Canada published by the SPFC in 1930. With Mgr Louis-Nazaire Bégin, he also co-founded the L'Action catholique review.

Writing career

Rivard was something of a traditionalist as can be seen in his somewhat syrupy description of country life as portrayed in Chez Nous.
