Various district councillors’ duties have shifted with new appointments following the Ville de

Gatineau’s municipal council meeting on February 20.

Versant district councillor Daniel Champagne was named deputy mayor and will take the

position of acting mayor until a by-election is held.

Isabelle N. Morin, who represents the l’Orée-du-Park district, joined the Comité de toponymie as

vice president and will also sit on the board of directors for the Corporation de la Maison de la

culture.

Denis Girouard of the Lac-Beauchamp district and Marc Bureau of the Parc-de-la-Montagne-

Saint-Raymond district were appointed to the Table de concertation des événements with

Girouard taking the role of president.

The City also planned to include Indigenous representation to its Table de concertation du centre-

ville.

“We have corrected a situation since the Indigenous community of Kitigan Zibi was not present,

but it is very important that it is, so we are going to invite a member to join the table,” said

former Mayor France Bélisle.

The meeting also included the creation and appointment of members to the new Comité

d’investissement et de gestion des actifs. Pointe-Gatineau district councillor Mike Duggan will

sit as president and be joined by Miron as vice president and Lucerne district councillor Gilles

Chagnon as a member.
