I sat down with Lachine Mayor Maja Vodanovic to talk about her history as a politician and as an activist, and to discuss her bid to become the new leader of Projet Montreal. In 2016, in her role as a city councillor in Lachine she disagreed with the way urban planning and contaminated soils were managed in the Lachine-Est zone and left the party of Claude Dauphin. In January 2017, she joined Projet Montréal and announced she would be candidate for the position of borough mayor. Since then she has been re-elected the Mayor of Lachine a second time, and now with this latest leadership bid, she hopes to become the Mayor of Montreal.
