“I want to move Montreal forward and my team is ready to make our vision a reality. I dream of a city where traveling is not synonymous with frustration or danger. I dream of a city on a human scale, where life is good, work and play. I dream of a city where families can become homeowners without breaking the bank,” said Plante in a statement.
“I dream of a city where startups can grow and prosper and where big companies come to live. This city, I want to build it with you, Montrealers and Montrealers. I hope to make you dream, to show you how beautiful and welcoming Montreal is and how it will be, to make you believe in a better future and to get involved in the decisions that will take us there.”
Plante is the first female mayor of Montreal.
