With the Carrefour-de-l’Hôpital district left open by Olive Kamanyana as she runs for mayor, four candidates will compete for the seat at the municipal council.

Over 9,000 voters will have the choice between independent candidates Frédérick Castonguay, Marie-Pier Lacroix, Kethlande Pierre, or Action Gatineau candidate Catherine Craig-St-Louis.

In the 2021 municipal election, Kamanyana secured her seat with more than half of the votes but only 40 per cent of the district’s citizens were registered to vote.

Similar to the mayoral by-election, citizens will be able to cast their ballot on June 9. Those wanting to head to the polls early can do so on June 2.
