A resident and businessman in Pointe Claire for the last 37 years, Alain Dubuc has a personal drive to tackle the subtler problems in local politics. When asked why he entered politics in an interview with The Suburban, he recounted an effort to amend the zoning on a property where he did business.
Since moving to Pointe Claire in his early 20s, Alain Dubuc has made the city his home for nearly 40 years and now works here as a dispensing optician. Over the years, he has been involved in his fair share of, rather varied, voluntary organizations. Not busying himself enough by organizing 34 blood drives in the West Island, he has also been a district governor for Optimist International, an association devoted to “bringing out the best in youth”.
Bringing out the best in, not only youth, but anyone, is something about which Alain Dubuc is passionate. Now he has turned his attention to bringing out the best in Pointe Claire, and as he puts it “there are many things that can be done and improved”.
As someone so actively involved with members of his local community, it seemed a logical step for him to decide to stand for council. Standing in District 1 for Pointe Claire, Dubuc pointed out that there are many issues with which the council should stay busy over the coming years.
