Summary#
Montréal city council unanimously adopted a position on appointments to the Conseil des arts de Montréal’s board of directors. It asks the agglomeration council to appoint Éric Duguay for three years, renew the three-year mandates of Josée Duplessis, Maxime Codère and Stanley Péan, and thank outgoing member Agathe Alie. The agglomeration council makes the final decision at a later meeting.
- Duguay would replace Alie; the three renewals would be second terms.
- The Conseil des arts de Montréal’s rules allow a board member’s mandate to be renewed once for three years.
What it means for you#
- Artists and arts organizations: The decision concerns board membership. It does not directly change grants, services or eligibility.
- The proposed board members: If the agglomeration council approves the appointments, Duguay’s term would begin on the date of that council’s meeting. The three renewed mandates would each last three years.
Money#
City staff say the recommendations have no financial impact because board members serve as volunteers.
What is unclear#
