His experience as a political attaché at the office of the MNA for La Pinière (Brossard) gave him first hand insight into the workings of local democracy and an active role on Brossard’s Living Environment Commission. Nicolas stands out through his energy, his ability to mobilize and engage in dialogue, and his determination to represent youth voices in decision-making bodies.

As the author of the very first university research project on Brossard’s New Downtown, he has shed light on the potential growth dynamics as well as public perceptions surrounding this upcoming major urban development. His rigor and critical thinking have contributed to reflections on the city’s planning— to foster an approach aimed at creating more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable living environments in response to Brossard residents’ aspirations.

As an engaged young adult, Nicolas aspires to represent his generation and champion for issues of the future, such as housing accessibility; the quality of life in our neighbourhoods, and the protection of green spaces. He hopes to inspire his peers to fully participate in democratic life, convinced that civic engagement and intergenerational dialogue are essential to building a city that reflects its residents.

Nicolas demonstrates through his actions and ideas that local politics goes beyond speeches: it is embodied in electing representatives capable of reflecting a diversity of voices and priorities. For him, every voter has the power to shape their collective future.
