Mayor Gilles Dionne having decided not to seek re-election, Sandra ran for mayor. Following her victory, she was appointed pro-prefet on the MRC Pontiac mayors’ council, a role that involved assuming the duties of warden Jane Toller in her absence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
