Elected Mayor in 2021, Éric Allard says he is "very proud of his record and his ongoing commitment to the Châteauguay community".

He cited a number of achievements, including the construction of a footbridge across the Châteauguay River and the development of a linear park on the former Hydro-Québec pylon corridor, the construction of a new indoor swimming pool, financial discipline "that is maintained below the rising cost of living and an end of deficit budgets", as well as investments "to improve the city's resilience in light of new environmental realities".

"Our city is undergoing a major facelift. Our parks, streets and infrastructure are being renovated at an unprecedented rate! The I'm more motivated than ever to keep moving our city in the right direction," he said.

He is keen to continue building on the work begun in a second term. "Our city deserves strong leadership, that is capable of further enhancing its image and reputation, both locally and nationally," Mr. Allard stated.

As in 2021, he will be running with a team of councillor candidates who will be announced at a later date.

In the November election, the number of elected councillors in Châteauguay will increase from 8 to 10 due to population growth.

Prior to being elected Mayor, Éric Allard served as a municipal councillor from 2017 to 2021.
