Diane Lamarche-Venne<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Despite many fewer school board commissioners at the French Marguerite Bourgeoys, there will be several new faces around the table.<\/p>\n

Diane Lamarche-Venne easily won the right to remain chair with 60% of the votes placed. She got 5,742 votes compared to 3,881for Max Martel.<\/p>\n

Martel did do well in Verdun and LaSalle, however, primarily because of his performance at the debate on Nun\u2019s Island.<\/p>\n

His local slate of candidates\u2014Stefana Lamasanu in the East LaSalle South Verdun Ward and Caroline Varin in the Verdun North, Nun\u2019s Island Ward\u2014were publicly supported by Verdun Mayor Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Parenteau.<\/p>\n

Lamasanu won her seat with 52% of the vote, with 534 votes over Jean-Marc Cr\u00eate\u2019s 309 and Patrick Larochelle\u2019s 188.<\/p>\n

Varin got 48% of the vote, narrowly beating Veronique Tremblay with 590 votes over 408. Pierre Labrosse got 242 votes.<\/p>\n

Sarita Benchimol in the Hampstead, C\u00f4te-Saint-Luc, Montreal West, eastern Lachine and northern LaSalle ward, also won her seat narrowly. She had 217 votes, while Jean-Pierre Boivin got 180 votes.<\/p>\n

The race in Dollard-Des Ormeaux, northern Pointe-Claire and southern Pierrefonds-Roxboro was also close. Denis Brousseau beat Yves Roy with 191 votes versus 168. Independent candidate Abdesselam Mejlaoui got the 58 votes that could have made voters\u2019 choice clearer.<\/p>\n

Abi Kon\u00e9 had no competition and was acclaimed. He represents people living in western Saint Laurent.<\/p>\n

The rest of the commissioners who won their seats were running on Lamarche-Venne\u2019s slate.<\/p>\n
