Born in Les Éboulements, County of Charlevoix, Canada East, the son of Idas Savard and Démérise Tremblay, Savard received his early education at the Seminary of Chicoutimi. He also studied at the Université Laval, where he graduated in Law in 1886. Savard was called to the Quebec bar in 1886 and practised law in Chicoutimi. In 1889, he married Marie-Louise Dufresne. He was an unsuccessful candidate in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec at the general elections of 1890. He was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons for the electoral district of Chicoutimi—Saguenay in the general elections of 1891, but was unseated. A Liberal, he was re-elected in the general elections of 1896 and was defeated in 1900. He died in Chicoutimi at the age of 44.
