The Mayor Recommends Harout Chitilian

Montréal, June 17th, 2011 – It is with great enthusiasm that Montréal
Mayor Gérald Tremblay announced his recommendation that Mr. Harout
Chitilian be named President of City Council.

“Harout Chitilian is clearly the right person to guide the Council in
its work. I am certain that he will achieve a consensus among his
colleagues and stand out for his sense of fairness and his ability to
bring people together. Once named, Mr. Chitilian will become the
youngest President in the history of Montréal’s City Council. This
appointment shows Montrealers that our Administration is placing great
emphasis on the succession,” said Mayor Tremblay.
At the age of 30, Harout Chitilian has already acquired an impressive
track record and speaks several languages fluently. Elected City
Councillor of Ahuntsic-Cartierville on November 1, 2009, he is now the
Executive Committee’s Associate Councillor for Youth and Economic
Development. Mr. Chitilian is also a member of the Executive Committee
of the Conférence régionale des Élus de Montréal and of his borough’s
Corporation de Développement économique et communautaire. Moreover, he
sits on the Board of MR3 Relève. Before turning to politics, this
engineer by training served as a specialized consultant for several
multinationalfirms in fields of telecommunications and information
technologies.

Mayor Tremblay today also announced his recommendation to rename Elsie
Lefebvre as Vice-President of City Council.

City Council is to ratify these appointments at its next meeting to be
held on June 20th.
