Marc Demers is a Canadian politician, who was elected mayor of Laval in the city's 2013 municipal election.[1] A former police officer, he took office at a time when the city was under trusteeship due to a corruption scandal that had enveloped his predecessors Gilles Vaillancourt and Alexandre Duplessis.[1]
In 2017, Demers announced that a portion of the money repaid to the city by the convicted former mayors would be set aside to create a fund for disadvantaged youth in the city.[2]
