Pages of <strong>Results</strong><br />
<strong>Sophie</strong> started as a grassroots<br />
activist, working in popular<br />
education centres as of 2001. This<br />

mobilizations: ‘’ Mobilisation<br />
Turcot’’. She fought against a<br />
highway expansion project. It is a<br />
cause that she continues to support<br />

councilor<br />

Through this report, I hope you will<br />
see how tirelessly I’ve worked in order<br />
to obtain concrete results <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Southwest</strong> over <strong>the</strong> last four years.<br />
This way, I hope to help fight off <strong>the</strong><br />
cynicism many of you might feel<br />
towards politicians in this time of<br />
uncertainty. – <strong>Sophie</strong> <strong>Thiébaut</strong><br />
