“I am very calm to announce to you that I will not be running for a seventh term in the run – up to the next municipal election,” Mr suggested.^{To me} Deschamps on his Facebook page on Thursday afternoon.

“After 24 wonderful years in the power of our beautiful community, Ripentigni, it’s time to send a torch to a heir who I believe will continue to provide you with a living environment that reflects your image.”

The mayor recalled that in her political career, Repenting was the first woman to be elected mayor, the first prefect of the MRC de l’Assomation and the first woman to sit in the Montreal Urban Community.

Elected in 1997, m^{To me} Deschamps believes her important heritage is the cultural space, which has made Ripentigni a “must-see” cultural destination in Lanadier.

“I leave with immense pride for all these great achievements in November, but because the next generation is here. You will soon learn more,” Mayor Deschamps said in a press release.
