\nAssociation: Team Andr\u00e9e Champoux for Verdun<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Business woman and Nun\u2019s Island resident Andr\u00e9e Champoux has become enamoured of municipal politics since joining Claude Trudel\u2019s team four years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a people person. I was brought up in Verdun. I bought my first house on Woodland. The only place I\u2019ve ever lived or worked is Verdun and LaSalle. All my life I\u2019ve done volunteer work and municipal politics is as close to volunteer work as you can get because it\u2019s all about doing things for people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her team is committed to renovating the arena, building a new theatre at the Verdun Circus School, protecting the parks and working with the health sectors, all through strong public consultations where the public get their say about what happens.<\/p>\n

Champoux says she really wants to do things differently, which is why she tried to do something about Tour Symphonia on the south side of the island, which was built without a permit. Champoux went on television to support Robert Denis, a Verdun bureaucrat who reported the problem along with 49 other alleged irregularities to UPAC.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople think that no matter what they say nothing will be changed. I want to convince them otherwise. I want to get people to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sixty-year-old says that she doesn\u2019t know who she wants to vote for in Montreal, so she couldn\u2019t join any other their campaigns. Instead, she\u2019s created a new party to run for mayor of Verdun and she\u2019s attracted several interesting local candidates to her party, including popular pharmacy owner, Jacques Gendron.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cRight now, I have my own business, I\u2019m a management training consultant and I do well, but I\u2019m going to give it all up to really change how things are done.<\/i>\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
