Isabelle Bérubé
A heart that beats for its city
Her top priorities are the protection of Saint-Bruno's green spaces and the vitality of the downtown area. "Montarvillois are not always aware of the exceptional character of our downtown," she says. "Unlike most suburban cities, it is surrounded by residential neighbourhoods rather than being located on a major urban boulevard. It needs to be protected and even further invigorated. A beating heart makes our hearts beat too. It's a valuable meeting place for community life." Aware that some businesses have suffered greatly from the pandemic, she wishes to put various initiatives in place so that they prosper and remain the first choice of the city's citizens.
An accomplished manager, Isabelle has held a variety of management positions throughout her career, including editor-in-chief in the agricultural world and publisher of a publication dedicated to agricultural news and policy. She has a leadership style that her employees and colleagues have always described as inclusive and caring: "I listen a lot before making a decision, always for the greater good. I am empathetic but also extremely lucid and aware of the multiplicity of issues. I am therefore ready to put my knowledge and skills at the service of the citizens for the next four years".
An inspiring mayor for an inspiring city!
