Véronique Farinacci does not shy away from challenges

Véronique Chadillon-Farinacci does not shy away from challenges. At the tender age of 18, she has just been appointed as president of the youth commission's executive committee for Union de Montréal, the political party headed by mayor Gérald Tremblay.

The appointment was made official during the Rendez-vous des jeunes 2007, organized by the Commission des jeunes de l'Union de Montréal on May 26 and bringing together more than 1,000 young party supporters at the École de technologie supérieure. "I would like to congratulate Véronique Farinacci and her team. Young people contribute to the issues that concern our political party and I'm very proud," stated mayor Tremblay.

The young LaSalle resident, who is the daughter of city councillor Alvaro Farinacci, is planning to do everything to live up to the new challenge. "What I want, more than anything, is to represent young people from all boroughs as effectively as possible," stated the new president, who hopes to increase the sense of belonging to Montreal in all young people.
