  Claudie Bérubé

  With more than 35 years of experience at the intersection of communications, media, culture, tourism, and partnerships, Claudie Bérubé is making the leap into provincial politics with the Quebec Liberal Party. A native of the Bas-Saint-Laurent region with deep roots in Granby, where she spent part of her teenage years, she holds a degree in communications from Laval University and a master’s degree in public administration from ENAP. Throughout her career, she has supported numerous organizations in their development, transformation, and outreach. Driven by a desire to serve her community, she is now entering politics. A seasoned communications professional and strategist, she has developed expertise in promoting organizations and building lasting partnerships. With a keen awareness of regional issues, she knows how to rally stakeholders around shared visions and transformative projects. As an entrepreneur, Claudie Bérubé has helped organizations with their strategic development and transformation. Her approach is based on active listening, dialogue, and collaboration. In 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, she decided to return to the Estrie region to care for her mother. Claudie’s commitment to the citizens of Granby is rooted in a deep conviction: the government must return to its core missions, spend every dollar wisely, and put people back at the heart of its decisions. Housing, dignity, and safety for the most vulnerable are her top priorities. Convinced that Granby deserves a strong voice in the National Assembly, she intends to champion regional issues with diligence and compassion, to build a Quebec where everyone can live with dignity, have a roof over their head, have enough to eat, and feel heard.
