In a video shared on social media, former Gatineau mayor France Bélisle said she would be checking off Daniel Feeny’s name on the ballot on June 9.

Before launching his campaign, Feeny worked as the spokesperson as well as the director of communications and intergovernmental relations for Bélisle while she served as mayor.

It was not just their close working relationship drawing Bélisle’s support but also Feeny’s “rich” candidacy.

“What I hope for you in the coming weeks is that Gatineau residents will learn to discover you,” said Bélisle. “They will see a committed man, a man of public service … who is there for the right reasons.”

The former mayor concluded the short video by wishing Feeny luck in the future.
