Information on the candidates

Montreal Citizens' Movement
  • Michel L'Allier (Ahuntsic), Donato Caivano (Saint-Michel), and Lise Brunet (François-Perrault) were first-time candidates.
Montrealers' Party
  • Michel Bureau (Ahuntsic) was a first-time candidate.
  • Antoinette Corrado (Jean-Rivard) was a first-time candidate. She later sought election to the English Montreal School Board in 2007 as an ally of commission chair Dominic Spiridigliozzi.[1]
Democratic Coalition–Ecology Montreal
  • Jean-Pierre Le Blanc (Ahuntsic) was a first-time candidate.
  • Michele A. Benigno (Saint-Michel) fought for the closure of the Miron landfill in the 1994 election.[2] She later sought election to the English Montreal School Board in 2003 and lost to Rocco Barbieri. Four years later, she ran as part of Barbieri's electoral alliance and was again defeated.[3]
  • Pietro Bozzo (Jean-Rivard) was a first-time candidate. He later served as executive director of the Yellow Door, an activist resource center.[4]
  • Mario Laquerre (François-Perrault) is a specialist in urban affairs. He studied possible uses for the abandoned Francon Quarry in north-end Montreal during the 1990s and, in the 1994 campaign, articulated his party's position that parts of the quarry could be converted to a giant urban campsite.[5] Laquerre also co-ordinated a local residents group that opposed the Miron quarry landfill site, an active garbage dump located within the city limits.[6] After the 1994 election, he served as president of the Front Commun Québécois pour une Gestion Écologique des Déchets (which sought to limit the shipment of garbage among Quebec's regions) and worked for the group RECYQ-QUÉBEC.[7]
Independents
  • Ghassan Saba (Ahuntsic) had previously been a Montreal Citizens' Movement candidate in the 1990 municipal election. A newspaper report from that election listed him as a thirty-eight-year-old investment counsellor.[8]
