Lise Landry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lise Landry is a local politician in Shawinigan, Quebec. She has been Mayor of Shawinigan, Quebec since 1994.
Prior to her election, she was political assistant to Liberal MNA Yvon Lemire.
Landry successfully ran as Mayor of Shawinigan in 1994 and became the first woman to serve in that function.
She was re-elected in 1998 (without opposition), in 2001 (against Grand-Mère Mayor Linda Lafrenière) and in 2005. [1]
Under her tenure, La Cité de l'Énergie, a theme park based on local industrial history with a 115 metre high observation tower, was established and, with her blessing, Shawinigan amalgamated with much of the MRC Le Centre-de-la-Mauricie.
In recent years, Landry has had difficult relations with many of the city councillors, who criticize her management style. [2] [3]
Her son Yves has been the Member for the District des Terrasses on the Trois-Rivières City Council. [4]
