Have you ever wanted to be a politician in Montreal, running for mayor or city councillor on a platform of dreams and sweeping changes? An upcoming webinar series hosted by the Quebec government's Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MAMH) will show you how. 

Three virtual information sessions on April 6, 15, and 29 will aim to "inform people and encourage them to take part in municipal democratic life by presenting their candidacy for a position of councillor or mayor in the next municipal elections which will take place this fall."
