The Municipality of Morin-Heights is pleased to announce the election by acclamation of Mrs. Louise Cossette as Mayor for the remainder of the current 2021-2025 term. She therefore becomes the first woman to hold the position in 170 years!

In fact, at a special meeting held on May 7th, the Council elected Mrs. Cossette by acclamation to fill the vacancy left by outgoing Mayor Tim Watchorn, who resigned on May 2nd, 2025, following his election as Member of Parliament for the new Pays-d’en-Haut riding on April 28th.

In accordance with the Law, the Council has decided not to hold a by-election by universal suffrage, given the cost of such an election and the upcoming general election on November 2nd.

Mrs. Cossette had been a municipal councillor since November 5th, 2017. She was responsible for urban planning, seniors and outdoor activities. She also sat on the board of directors of Transport adapté et collectif des Laurentides (TACL).

Before becoming a municipal councillor, Mrs. Cossette was Director General of TACL from 2011 to 2016, after serving as Economic Development Commissioner and Assistant Director General of the CLD de la MRC des Laurentides from 1990 to 2011.

She was actively involved in the creation of L’Inter des Laurentides and the Carrefour jeunesse-emploi (CJE) des Laurentides.
