Deux-Montagnes, December 14, 2021 – Deux-Montagnes Mayor Denis Martin was appointed to the Montreal Metropolitan Community (MMC) executive committee on December 9. The committee oversees the administration of the MMC’s 82 member municipalities. The eight-member executive committee is chaired by Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante and includes Longueuil Mayor Catherine Fournier and Laval Mayor Stéphane Boyer. Mayor Martin will represent the interests of the North Shore on the committee.
Mayor Martin said he was extremely honoured by the trust his peers placed in him by electing him to this key position at the highest level of municipal government. “I’m very proud to be a part of the MMC executive committee and look forward to putting my experience to work on its behalf. The issues dealt with, and the decisions made by the executive committee have a far-reaching impact on all the municipalities in its purview, and on a major portion of the population. I am deeply committed to never losing sight of serving the common good and to maintaining a comprehensive forward-looking vision of sustainable development for the entire North Shore,” he said.
In addition to his role on the MMC executive committee, Mayor Martin will sit on the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM) board of directors. He will also continue serving on the Union of Quebec Municipalities executive committee, where he’s chair of the economic development committee as well.
Given the many challenges and mandates he faces in months ahead, the chief one being representing the interests of Deux-Montagnes residents, Mayor Martin has resigned as prefect of the Deux-Montagnes RCM. He wishes every success to Mayor Pierre Charron of Saint-Eustache who will be replacing him as RCM prefect.
