Futur Montréal is now officially authorized as a municipal political party in Montreal and plans to present a full slate of 103 candidates in the next municipal election in November of this year — including borough mayors, city councillors and borough councillors.
Co-founded by Joel DeBellefeuille and Matthew Kerr, the movement promises to “do politics differently.”
They received the news of being granted official party status on July 11.
With this authorization from Élections Québec, Futur Montréal is now able to engage directly with residents and the community to organize ahead of the municipal elections on Nov. 2.
The party says they are working with a new civic engagement app called Resident to help reach citizens and allow them to submit suggestions, requests and feedback.
“This isn’t just about listening it’s about responding,” said Matthew Kerr. “Resident helps close the gap between government and the people, and that’s exactly the kind of innovation Futur Montréal stands for.”
“This is a milestone not just for us, but for every Montrealer who’s been waiting for a real third option,” said Joel DeBellefeuille. “Futur Montréal is about leadership with purpose, transparency, and accountability.”
DeBellefeuille is also the founder of The Red Coalition, a Montreal-based anti-racism group.
