Laval Mayor Stéphane Boyer running for second term

By The Canadian Press

Laval Mayor Stéphane Boyer announced Wednesday that he would run for a second term as mayor of the city on Montreal’s North Shore. 

Boyer, 37, said in a press release that he wanted to continue to defend the interests of Laval, while “the needs of the suburbs continue to be underestimated.” 

“Laval, the third largest city in Quebec, deserves infrastructure that matches its growing population. Currently, we only have one hospital, one CEGEP and one shelter for homeless people, all under pressure. In this second mandate, I want to ensure that Laval receives the necessary recognition and support from government authorities,” he said.

Boyer also said he wanted to look at “efficiency and service to citizens.” 

“Whether it’s fixing a pothole or obtaining a building permit, we need to be faster and more efficient in delivering our services. To do this, we are investing in new technological tools and instilling a new organizational culture.”

In 2021, Boyer became the youngest mayor elected to lead Laval, at the age of 33.
