Thibaudeau was a City Councillor from 1904 to 1909 and from 1913 to 1915. He successfully ran for Mayor in 1915 against incumbent Joseph-Auguste Frigon. Under his tenure the first streets (Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth streets) were paved. Thibaudeau was defeated by Joseph-Auguste Frigon in 1917. He died in 1957.
