She shared her awe of nature and her commitment to environmental stewardship while showcasing Canada's majestic beauty as a certified guide and tourism professional. Later, while raising a young daughter, Joyce's personal health journey led her to become a certified Reflexologist and CranioSacral Therapist. She operated a successful complementary wellness practice from her home for more than a decade. Believing that collaboration creates even greater success, she founded the West Island Complementary Health Alliance (WICHA), bringing complementary health care professionals and sustainable businesses together to strengthen their collective impact while helping each business succeed. Joyce's entrepreneurial spirit and her belief that healthy people and a healthy planet are inseparable inspired her to create eCause Canada Inc., an innovative fundraising company that helped schools and charitable organizations raise tens of thousands of dollars with environmentally responsible products. Her vision was simple yet transformative: support children, families, and community organizations today while helping build a healthier, more sustainable future. As a volunteer and advocate, Joyce served on the regional Board of the Quebec Federation of Home and School, supporting and advocating for families and their rights in public education. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she became the spokesperson for the Maimonides Family Advocacy Committee, lending her voice to residents and their families to ensure they were heard and respected during the most challenging period in Quebec's long-term care history.

Saint-Laurent

Audrey Baillairgé

Audrey Baillairgé is a lawyer practising civil and commercial litigation in Montreal. Called to the Barreau du Québec in 2024, she also holds the French CAPA, allowing her to practise law in both Quebec and France. Her academic background includes international studies and two master's degrees: one in Common Law and Transnational Law, and another in International Business Law. Throughout her career, she has combined legal practice with an unwavering commitment to public service. Raised in Saint-Laurent, Audrey is deeply rooted in the community she now seeks to represent. She attended local schools, borrowed books from the Bibliothèque du Vieux-Saint-Laurent before she could even properly walk, spent countless hours studying for her CEGEP exams at the Bibliothèque du Boisé, played competitive soccer on Saint-Laurent's fields from childhood, learned to swim and later taught swimming at the YMCA, spent every summer at the Centre des loisirs de Saint-Laurent day camp before becoming a camp counsellor there, and grew up enjoying neighbourhood landmarks such as Parc Gohier, Parc Beaudet, Parc Hartenstein, Parc Decelles, and the Aréna Raymond-Bourque. These experiences shaped her deep attachment to Saint-Laurent and her conviction that strong communities are built through local engagement. From a young age, Audrey demonstrated a commitment to inclusion and fairness. Alongside her soccer teammates, she successfully advocated for the hijab to be permitted in their league so that Muslim girls could play alongside them without being excluded. That experience reinforced a principle that continues to guide her today: every person deserves the opportunity to fully participate in community life. Volunteerism has always been at the heart of Audrey's career. She has dedicated hundreds of hours to organizations providing legal assistance to immigrants, refugees, and individuals who could not otherwise access legal services. She currently serves as a pro bono lawyer with the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada's Pro Bono Legal Assistance Program, helping protect safe sport and abuse-free sport across Canada. Audrey has also made significant contributions to sports governance. She previously served as President of the Provincial Judicial Committee of Soccer Québec and now serves as an independent member of the Canada Soccer Compliance Committee, where she contributes to promoting integrity, accountability, and good governance in Canadian sport. Committed to defending the rule of law both inside and outside the courtroom, Audrey was also part of the legal team that appeared before the National Assembly of Québec to oppose Bill 1, contributing to the constitutional debate surrounding the proposed legislation. Audrey believes politics should be guided by integrity, respect, and service. She is running because she wants to give back to the community that raised her and help ensure Saint-Laurent remains a safe, welcoming, and prosperous place for future generations.

Pontiac

Will Twolan

Will Twolan is the Canadian Party of Quebec candidate for Pontiac. Having worked on provincial, federal, and municipal election campaigns, Will has built experience in political communications, governance, and public service. He previously represented the Canadian Party of Quebec in Pontiac during the 2022 Quebec election. Will’s roots run deep across Pontiac and the Outaouais, from Allumette Island to Aylmer. His family has lived, farmed, and served in municipal roles throughout the region for generations. Will grew up on his family’s cattle farm in Pontiac and has fond memories of attending the Shawville Fair, spending summers at The Fort (Fort William), and enjoying days at Parc des Cèdres in Aylmer. With both anglophone and francophone family roots, Will has a personal connection to the region’s rich history and diverse communities. Will has served in ex officio roles on academic boards at D’Arcy McGee High School and Cégep Heritage College, gaining experience in institutional governance and community representation. He holds a DEC in Social Science from Cégep Heritage College and a Joint Honours Bachelor in Communication and Political Science from the University of Ottawa. He is currently pursuing a Master of Communication at the University of Ottawa. Will is an unapologetic federalist who believes in a strong and united Canada. He firmly opposes separatism, nationalism, and regionalism, which he believes divide citizens, encourage identity politics, and isolate Quebec from the rest of the country. He believes Quebec has already lost too many years to governments that have placed separatist and nationalist agendas ahead of economic stability, investment, national unity, and the rights of citizens. Will also believes that no elected representative should take their riding or its voters for granted. Pontiac deserves an MNA who will defend the rights of its citizens, challenge laws that weaken Charter protections, and place the interests of the riding ahead of party convenience. He believes governments must uphold the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, not treat Charter rights as optional. Will strongly opposes the routine use of the notwithstanding clause to shield governments from accountability and override the fundamental rights of citizens.
