A municipal election was held in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada on November 1, 2009, in conjunction with municipal elections across Quebec on that date. Elections were held for Mayor of Gatineau as well as for each of the 18 districts on Gatineau City Council.
Controversies
Signs in the Gatineau area-sponsoring Lucerne District Councillor candidate Barbara Charlebois posters were removed and vandalized due to her election poster being primarily in English. A similar act of vandalism was perpetrated on the offices of the Regional Association of West Quebecers, a not-for profit organization that support English-Speakers in the community, of which Charlebois is vice-president. Jean-Roch Villemaire, a former provincial candidate for the extreme-separatist Parti indépendantiste, took responsibility for both situations.[1][2]
Mayoral race
At 8:59 pm, CBC reported that Marc Bureau, the incumbent mayor of Gatineau had won the Gatineau mayoral race.[3][4]
