Chantal Rossi is a politician in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She has served on the Montreal city council since November 2013 as a member of Équipe Denis Coderre pour Montréal. She was previously a borough councillor in Montréal-Nord from 2005 to 2009 and has served on the Commission scolaire de la Pointe-de-l'Île since 1998.
Rossi was born in Montréal-Nord. She is the daughter of Carlo Rossi, who represented Bourassa in the Canadian House of Commons from 1979 to 1988. In 1987, she helped convinced her father to reverse his long-standing support for capital punishment and to vote against its re-introduction.
Rossi is a trained mezzo-soprano singer and has performed concerts in Montreal.
Rossi was first elected to the Commission scolaire de la Pointe-de-l'Île in 1998 and was re-elected in 2003 and 2007.
Rossi was elected to the Montréal-Nord borough council in the 2009 Montreal municipal election as a Union Montreal candidate in Marie-Clarac. She served for a full four-year term. On council, she had special responsibility for culture and preparations for Montréal-Nord's centenary in 2015.
Rossi resigned from Union Montreal to sit as an independent on February 21, 2013, after a corruption scandal implicated some of the party's leading members. She joined Équipe Denis Coderre pour Montréal on June 17.
Rossi was elected to Montreal city council for Marie-Clarac in the 2013 municipal election. Denis Coderre was elected as mayor of Montreal in this election, and his party won a plurality of seats on council.
