The Laval News | Demers expresses grief following death of Gilbert Dumas

It was with shock and great sadness that Laval mayor Marc Demers, as well as the members of the executive-committee and city councillors, learned last week of the sudden death of their colleague, Councillor Gilbert Dumas.

Demers will not run again

Laval Mayor Marc Demers will not seek re-election in November. “It’s never easy to find the right time to leave” says Demers, who announced his departure from public life on Tuesday morning. But leave he will, stating “I feel like I’ve done my duty.” The former long-time Laval cop and two-time Parti québecois candidate made a mark in the province’s third largest city, pushing programs and initiatives, as well as high levels of spending and investment in infrastructure, community organizations, culture and more while working to get Laval out from under the shadow of trusteeship where he found it with its legacy of corruption, collusion and cronyism.
