  Stéphane Lavoie

  Actively involved in the performing arts and culture sectors for 35 years, Stéphane Lavoie has devoted his career to showcasing Quebec expertise and contributing to the economic, cultural, and social development of communities. For more than 20 years as General Manager of TOHU, the Cité des arts du cirque, he led major projects and worked closely with various partners from the cultural, community, institutional, and governmental sectors. With his team, he helped make TOHU an important driver of social inclusion and positioned Quebec as a global reference in the performing arts. Currently responsible for supporting elected officials at the Ville de Montréal, he contributes to the international attractiveness of the metropolis. Beyond cultural outreach, his career is also marked by sustained commitment, particularly in the socio-professional integration of young people and eco-responsible development. Recognized for his listening skills, judgment, and ability to mobilize people around meaningful projects, he places consultation and collaboration at the heart of his approach. With a career that has earned him several distinctions, including the title of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres of the French Republic and the Prix du gestionnaire culturel from HEC Montréal, Stéphane Lavoie wishes to put his expertise at the service of the people of Taillon with the same determination to bring people together and contribute concretely to the development of the community.

  Boubacar Camara

  At only 26 years old, Boubacar Camara embodies a new generation of engaged leaders determined to bring politics closer to the daily realities of citizens. A former banker and now a policy analyst at Health Canada, he puts his expertise at the service of the public by contributing to the development of policies that address major economic and social challenges. Over the course of his career, he has worked on several files of national importance, notably contributing to the development of the 2023, 2024, and 2025 federal budgets. He has also supported several ministers and senior officials in taking up their duties by contributing to the strategic preparation of their transition. These experiences have given him a solid understanding of how the State operates, of public finances, and of the issues that directly affect citizens. Holding a specialized bachelor's degree in economics and an MBA, Boubacar Camara is driven by a deep desire to serve the population. The son of a police officer engaged internationally in the defence of women's rights, he grew up with the values of service, integrity, and commitment to the community. Young, bilingual, and from an immigrant background, he understands the challenges facing new generations, whether the cost of living, access to housing, or economic integration. He now wishes to put his energy, expertise, and commitment at the service of the citizens of Taillon in order to help build a more prosperous, more inclusive Quebec that is resolutely turned toward the future. × I commit to voting for Boubacar Camara as member for the Taillon constituency
