About Marc Bureau (politician)
- Marc Bureau (born August 11, 1955) is a Canadian politician, who was the mayor of the city of Gatineau, Quebec from 2005 to 2013. Born in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, he was elected mayor of Gatineau on November 6, 2005, by beating incumbent Yves Ducharme with 68% of the vote.
- His landslide victory came as a surprise because he had trailed in the polls at the start of the campaign, although he progressed until being given winner by a small margin two weeks before the election (52% vs 48%).
- More than a week before the election, polls gave him a 14 points advance (57% vs 43%).
- His victory is attributed by most people including both candidates to the citizen's desire for a change after 13 years of reign from Ducharme, and also Bureau's promises of a more transparent city council.
- See 2005 Quebec municipal elections. He was defeated by Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin in the 2013 municipal election. He lives in the Hull area of Gatineau and was the owner of a second-hand book, CD, and cassette store.
- He has a wife and four children.
