Nicole Boudreau is a former politician in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She served on the Montreal city council from 1986 to 1994, representing Longue-Pointe as a member of the governing Montreal Citizens' Movement (MCM).
Boudreau worked as a medical secretary before her election to council.[2] She also helped to form a CLSC (centre local de services communautaires) in Mercier-Est and served on its board of directors.[3]
City councillor[]
Boudreau first ran for city council in the 1982 municipal election and lost to Civic Party incumbent Luc Larivée. She ran again in 1986 and this time defeated Larivée by a significant margin. Boudreau was forty-four years old at the time her election and, in a post-campaign interview, said that she would work for increased port facilities and green space along Montreal's land border with the St. Lawrence River.[4] The MCM won a landslide majority in this election, and Boudreau served as a backbench supporter of Jean Doré's administration.
Boudreau was re-elected in the 1990 municipal election, in which the MCM won a second consecutive majority. In 1991, she was one of twelve MCM councillors who announced their support for a group calling for a referendum on Quebec sovereignty.[5]
