Justine McIntyre is a Canadian politician, who served on Montreal City Council from 2013 to 2017.[1] She represented the Bois-de-Liesse ward in the borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro, as a member of the Vrai changement pour Montréal political party.[2]
A graduate of the music program at McGill University, prior to her term on city council McIntyre worked as a classical pianist[3] and as communications director of an organization for homeless youth, as well as serving on the board of a youth music education program.[4]
She was elected to Montreal City Council in the 2013 municipal election.[2] She was most prominent as a voice on environmental issues, including banning the use of neonicotinoid pesticides in the city[5] and opposing a controversial proposed new housing development in Pierrefonds West.[6]
She became the leader of Vrai changement pour Montréal after Lorraine Pagé stepped down in 2015.[7] She led the party into the 2017 municipal election,[8] in which it ran candidates only in the boroughs of Pierrefonds-Roxboro, L'Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève, Lachine, Saint-Laurent and Ville-Marie rather than the citywide slate of 2013. McIntyre herself ran for borough mayor of Pierrefonds-Roxboro rather than for Mayor of Montreal, but lost to incumbent borough mayor Dimitrios Jim Beis.[1]
She makes regular media appearances, including on Radio-Canada radio and on Vaste Programme.
